Three Game-changing Playwrights

Three game-changing playwrights you may not have heard of but probably want to know:

YOUNG JEAN LEE

“Young Jean Lee is, hands down, the most adventurous downtown playwright of her generation.” – The New York Times

SHEILA CALLAGHAN

“No playwright feels more current than Sheila Callaghan… The ultra-cool provocateur plays a cat-and-mouse game… [with] heady themes [and] cool tone… Roadkill Confidential isn’t just arid intellectualism. Callaghan has a sick sense of wit … and a sly fondness for big action movie plots… the hip theatergoer shouldn’t miss this cool work.” -New York Metro Mix

RUTH MARGRAFF

“Ruth Margraff is shaping the future of American theatre…a warrior riding the vanguard of New Wave opera…She travels everywhere, like an electrifying idea…” – The Austin Chronicle
