I think a playwright must be his own dramaturg. I believe in a theater where the director and the playwright work together to create what they need.

John Guare

I do come from a theater background, where the playwright is optimal and king and you have to serve the playwright. So I am, of course, a huge fan of scripted everything.

Skylar Astin

In theater, the playwright is the boss, period. The decisions will go through him or her. In movies, the writer is pretty far down on the list.

Theresa Rebeck

Zooey Deschanel loves music, loves musical theater, loves the show of it.

Noah Hawley

(a womanist) 3. Loves music. Loves dance. Loves the moon. Loves the Spirit. Loves love and food and roundness. Loves struggle. Loves the Folk. Loves herself. Regardless.

Alice Walker

Edward Albee, the premier dark playwright of the American theater, would show up at rehearsal and quote his favorite lines from 'Auntie Mame'. He would stand at the back of the theater, not facing the stage, and sort of conduct the music of his play.

I'm on Twitter every single week. It's sort of like being a playwright standing in the back of the theater.

Peter Paige

I think in theater the playwright is king. Those words are unchangeable. They are the reason that everything else flows from.

Greta Gerwig

I started in theater and I wanted to write plays, but I never really found an original voice as a playwright.

Atom Egoyan

I think Lin-Manuel deserves absolutely everything that he's getting. He is an extremely gifted guy, a very fine human being, and loves the theater. Loves it.
