The Playwrights' Center

Panel Discussion: Defining the Playwright | Sunday 10/23 at 3:30 pm

At a time when interdisciplinary art and devised work are becoming increasingly popular, where does the more traditional playwright fit into the ever-evolving theatrical landscape? As the Playwrights' Center enters its 40th anniversary season, we've gathered a panel of distinguished theater leaders to examine the critical issue of how we define the word "playwright" … and its ramifications that extend far beyond semantics.

Panelists 2011-12 McKnight Theater Artist Fellow SHÁ CAGE, award-winning theater artist LAURIE CARLOS, 2011-12 McKnight National Residency & Commission recipient KATE FODOR, Theatre de la Jeune Lune co-founder DOMINIQUE SERRAND, and Z Space Executive Artistic Director LISA STEINDLER.
