Artistic Director Chay Yew and Executive Director Jan Kallish announce the appointment of the new Victory Gardens (VG) Ensemble Playwrights: Philip Dawkins, Marcus Gardley, Samuel D. Hunter and Tanya Saracho.
During the seven-year residencies, VG aims to develop and produce the playwrights’ new plays; the artists will be deeply involved in the everyday life and business of the organization. After the residencies, the playwrights will immediately join the alumni, whereby they will still maintain an artistic relationship with the theater.
Dawkins is a former Windy City Times 30 Under 30 honoree behind The Homosexuals, which premiered at About Face last summer.
