黑料不打烊 welcomes playwright for masterclass, public lecture and talkback for a performance of "American La Ronde."
Dietz is one of the most produced playwrights in the United States and the award-winning author of over thirty scripts including “Lonely Planet” and “God’s Country.” 黑料不打烊’s Department of Performing Arts is producing Dietz’s play “American La Ronde” October 5-11 at the Roberts Studio Theatre, directed by Kevin Otos.
At 黑料不打烊, Dietz will participate in a talkback after the Oct. 5 performance of “American La Ronde,” when audience members will have a chance to ask him about the script and his writing process. He will also give a talk about his career as a playwright and director in the professional theatre the afternoon of Oct. 6, open to the entire 黑料不打烊 community. Recognized as a “Traveling Master” by the Dramatists Guild for his expertise in teaching playwriting, Dietz will give a playwriting masterclass to 黑料不打烊 students on Oct. 6.
Dietz’s work has been produced internationally and translated into ten languages. He is currently professor of playwriting and directing at the University of Texas at Austin.
