An Interview with Paula Vogel

Patricia MiltonBlog, Video

I recently came across a wonderful Dramatists Guild Fund interview with Paula Vogel on Youtube.

Paula’s 15 plays have been produced all over the US and the world. She was the director of the Brown University playwriting program for more than 20 years and also taught at Yale University, concurrent with her stint as the playwright in residence at Yale Repertory Theatre. Her drama How I Learned to Drive won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1998, and will soon be her second play to appear on Broadway. In fact, her first Broadway production was Indecent in 2017, and it was produced there more than 40 years after her first script was produced in 1974. It really is remarkable.

She also was one of the most produced playwrights in the United States in 2018–19.
