During her prolific career, which spanned nearly four decades, playwright Wendy Wasserstein wrote eleven plays, winning a Tony Award, a Pulitzer Prize, a New York Drama Critics Circle Award, a Drama Desk Award, and an Outer Critics Circle Award. She was also a member of Guild Hall’s Academy of the Arts, where she accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997. Her stunning accomplishments include such monumental works as The Heidi Chronicles, The Sisters Rosensweig and An American Daughter; along with a robust assortment of shorter, lesser known plays that all manage to capture her uniquely warm, irreverent and very human voice. We are delighted to present this mini-fest of Wendy’s plays – two separate, distinctive evenings filled with smart and shining treats from the voice of one of America’s most beloved playwrights, and a great friend and neighbor to Guild Hall.
June 5th will feature a staged reading of The Heidi Chronicles, with a talkback led by Erika Rundle.
