Did a teacher inspire you to be a writer? How? My playwriting teachers Zay Amsbury and Brian Thorstenson taught me how a single finely written moment onstage can reveal an entire character and their story.
What’s one of your favorite TMWFI moments? At a final reading, one of my students came up to me and said she was too scared to read her piece out loud in front of everyone. After some encouragement she gathered her courage and went up there all by herself. She was very proud and I was too.
