Kirsten Greenidge

Kirsten Greenidge is an award-winning playwright. Quotes I’m an artist. I write plays. So my first call — to the heavens, to battle — usually involves a call to create in the midst of so much destruction. On how her plays typically address sociological issues in “CATCHING UP WITH KIRSTEN GREENIDGE” (Huntington Theatre Company; 2016 Feb 12) I’m most excited about being ‘in the room.’ To me, as a theatre artist, it is really one of the best feelings in the world. On the rehearsal process in “CATCHING UP WITH KIRSTEN GREENIDGE” (Huntington Theatre Company; 2016 Feb 12) I got interested in children who fall through the cracks…We love to think these kids fall through the cracks because there is something wrong with them or their parents. I think all children are beautiful and smart. On what inspired her to write her play Milk Like Sugar in “Playwright Greenidge has her finger on the pulse” in The Boston Globe (2016 Jan 21) The moment any of us claims we do not care is the moment we cease to see what is human and valuable and savable in each other and in ourselves… From “Kirsten Greenidge on ‘Milk Like Sugar’" (Playwrights Horizons; July 2011) External links Category:African Americans Category:Living people Category:Playwrights from the United States
