Artists' Fellowship - 1988
Playwriting/Screenwriting
Artist Statement:
The year was spent revising and reading for a production of "The Model Apartment' at the Los Angeles Theater Center, completing and then rewriting "The Loman Family Picnic," which will be presented at the Manhattan Theater Club in June. All in all, a rich year creatively.
More about the Artist:
Donald Margulies began his playwriting work with collaboration with Joseph Papp, and his first Off-Broadway play, Found a Peanut, was produced at the Public Theatre. In 1992, Margulies’ play Sight Unseen won an Obie for Best New American Play. Margulies’ other plays include Dinner With Friends, which tells the story of a seemingly happy couple who re-examine their own relationship when their best friends decide to get a divorce.
Margulies won a Pulitzer Prize for Dinner With Friends in 2002. He had previously been nominated for a Pulitzer for Collected Stories, a play about a Jewish writer who is betrayed by her young disciple.
Elected to the Dramatists Guild Council in 1993, Margulies has received grants from Creative Artists Public Service (CAPS), the National Endowment for the Arts, and the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. His plays have premiered at Manhattan Theatre Club, South Coast Repertory, The New York Shakespeare Festival and the Jewish Repertory Theatre. He lives in New Haven, Connecticut, where he teaches playwriting at the Yale School of Drama.
