MARGARET HUNT
Margaret was born and grew up in Chicago but has lived in New York since 1977. She has written eight full-length plays, including Loon Woman, Working Magic, Loose Cannons, Down at Johnnie D’s, and The Maginot Line. Those five—and her one-act play Bread—have all been produced in New York. Working Magic was also produced by Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago. In 2005, an expanded version of Bread was produced in Italian at the Teatro dell’ Orologio in Rome. In 2004, the one-act version of Bread was presented in Italian by Associazione Culturale Istituto Studi dello Spettacolo-Teatro Studio at the FontanonEstate Theatre Festival in Rome. Bread has been published by Smith & Kraus in an anthology, The Women’s Project and Productions: Rowing to America and 16 Other Short Plays. Scenes from her other plays have been published in Duo: Best Scenes from the 90s by Applause Books and in Monologues from the Road by Heinemann. Selections from short plays she wrote with Dick Holody have been published in The Elvis Book and Baseball Monologues, also from Heinemann. She has received a major Berrilla Kerr Foundation Playwright’s Fellowship and two playwright's residencies from the Edward Albee Foundation. She is a member of the Women's Project and the Dramatists Guild.
