What the Dramatist Knows About Monsters
I sold my first paid byline to a Lincoln, Nebraska, newspaper at the age of ten. That was 1975. In the fifty-one years since, I have continued to be paid to construct figures that audiences will find frightening, or sympathetic, or contemptible, or laughable, on schedule, in plays and musicals and screenplays and novels and podcast scripts and editorial work. My Dramatists Guild membership dates from 1984. My MFA is from the Oscar Hammerstein II Center for Graduate Theatre Studies at Columbia University. A publishing house I founded in the same year I sold the first byline has operated without interruption since. The inventory exists for a single reason: the labor of figure-construction is something I know from inside the work, and the working-dramatist's perspective on that labor is the perspective from which my new book is written.

Being a translator means constantly having to turn yourself into an "instant expert" on some new task or subject.
I've been translating some excellent stage plays into English lately for a performing arts foundation that promotes plays developed in their region. Now I'm trying to figure out exactly how one markets scripts to English-language theater companies. 😀

I'm looking for more #playwright friends to trade recommendations on New Play Exchange—are there any #theatre making friends in the #writingcommunity whose work I can read? I'll read anything, but I like comedy, dark comedy, and drama the most! 😊🎭

“In conversation, she was both gracious and no-nonsense, lyrical and blunt. She could be relied upon to be unfailingly supportive and rigorously demanding of any #writer she worked with, whether journeyman reporter or laurel-wreathed #dramatist.” —#BenBrantley on the passing of #NewYorkTimes #theatre #editor Andrea Stevens #journalism https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/31/insider/andrea-stevens.html

Tiny notebook, short play. Because my friend's Closing Night got cancelled due to COVID 😭 , I had time to work on a 10-min play that's been running in my head. So I found the nearest Walgreens to buy a little notebook and pens to do what I love.
