Alexis Greene & Emily Mann: Rebel Artist of American Theater

In her biography, Greene explores Mann's life as a professional director and playwright, first at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, then on and off Broadway and at regional theaters. She examines Mann's leadership of the McCarter Theater, along with her battles to overcome multiple sclerosis and to conquer -personally and artistically - the memories of the violence she experienced when a teenager.

Alexis Greene is the author and editor of many books about theater, including The Lion King: Pride Rock on Broadway, written with Julie Taymor, and the biography Lucille Lortel: the Queen of Off Broadway. Greene's career also spans acting, theater criticism, and teaching. Emily Mann is a pioneer of American theater and a Tony Award-nominated director and playwright. Her plays reflect her deep engagement with the burning political issues of her time, from immigration to feminism and social justice. She was McCarter Theater's Artistic Director and Resident Playwright from 1990-2020.
