We would like to take a moment to remember our dear friend,
Lanford Wilson. Lanford, thank you for everything you gave to audiences, the theatre world and those who knew you.
You will be missed.
“I want people to see – and to read – my plays and to say: ‘This is what it was like living in that place at that time. People haven’t changed a damn bit. We can recognize everyone”
– Lanford Wilson
(in a 2002 interview with the New York Times)
Lanford’s visit to the set of T. Schreiber’s 2009 production of Fifth of July
“Lanford illuminated with such wonderful humor and compassion what it meant to be human, with all our imperfections. Being able to work on his plays was an honor.”
– Peter Jensen

“No playwright writes with a better ear, compassion, understanding, and clarity about the American search for identity and acceptance than Lanford Wilson. Lanford was truly one-of-a-kind.“
