EMMA S. RUND
As a playwright, dramaturg, and actor I am most excited by new work in the development stage. I am excited by stories that are deeply honest, taking the risk to bring truths to the stage that may not usually have a platform. I am particularly interested in telling stories centering women. There are not enough complicated women onstage, and we deserve to be seen in all our wonderful complexity and diversity.
I want you to feel what I felt.
I want you to know why story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth."
- Tim O'Brien
