Saw "Sisters Rosensweig" at Park Square - loved it. Saw Heidi Chronicles when I lived in NYC - yes, loved it. But I most appreciate how she gave back by starting Open Doors, a theater education program for high school students who would not get the chance to see live performance. 100s of kids have benefitted from this year-long program of seeing Broadway with a theater professional.

Reason one: his fantastically popular musicals: The Sound of Music, Flower Drum Song (okay, not as popular), Oklahoma, The King & I, and South Pacific being my favorites. Reason two: He bucked convention by addressing social/ethical issues in his musicals, way way way before this was a politically correct concept. Reason three: Hammerstein was highly respected as a person. It’s a tough call but I am eager to select Oscar Hammerstein.

Also, it is killing me that besides Stacey Levin :), no one has mentioned a female playwright, so... Wendy Wasserstein! What a beautiful, funny, smart, observant, generous soul she was, and gone WAY too soon. P.S. Psssst....come see "Entwined". :) I’m not entering this fabulous and awesome contest because I have a show in the Fringe (ENTWINED!!!), but I wanted to pitch in anyway and say Arthur Miller, who was one of the first playwrights I deeply loved as a dorky kid obsessed with theatre – his writing clutched my heart and made me weep, it was so real and honest, and I understood, reading his plays, the relationship between playwright and actor — how a writer could give a character such a flawed and complex life on the page that an actor would YEARN to carry it into three dimensions and figure it out, from the inside.
