Obie Award-winning American playwright and television writer Gina Gionfriddo, proclaimed by Variety as “some kind of genius,” graduated from Barnard College in addition to completing Brown University’s MFA playwriting program. During her time at Brown, she studied under the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel. Her previous writing credits include Off-Broadway’s After Ashley (2004) and U.S. Drag (2002), in addition to many episodes of “Law & Order”, “Law & Order: Criminal Intent”, and “Cold Case”. Her work has earned her a number of prestigious awards and accolades including the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, the Helen Merrill Award for Emerging Playwrights, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Theatre Conspiracy is proud to continue its mission to produce and promote the work of the next generation of talented American playwrights. The theatre is a very difficult business for anyone involved but even more so for playwrights. The opportunities that were once present for having new works produced have, over time, continually declined. By producing new works we are not only providing a venue that will bring them to life, but, we will have created a more promising future for theatre in America by providing a more nurturing environment for the greatest asset theatre can have; great playwrights.
Theatre Conspiracy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Florida corporation, headed by Producing Artistic Director Bill Taylor. Funding is derived from ticket sales, advertising sales and donations. During it's 19 years it has been described as "innovative, exciting, daring," and "a treasured member of the area's theatrical community."
