HERE to read Lawson Taitte's (of The
Dallas Morning News) story featuring Lynne Avarez, UMT and
The Snow Queen
"The
plays of Lynne Alvarez possess a poetry and eerie quietude that
is unique in our dramatic literature.”
- Mac Wellman, playwright
"Lynne
Alvarez is an enchantress. Her plays unfurl like flying carpets—the
joy, the daring, the loop, the loops...prepare yourself for an
exhilarating flight."
-Tina Howe, playwright
"In her magical and mysterious plays, Alvarez creates characters
filled with longing, imagination and an outrageous sense of humor.
Her highly theatrical landscapes invite us into a world where
towers rise up, people flee their pasts, love appears around surprising
corners and the poet in all of us is reborn. Alvarez has a unique
and joyful voice that celebrates the complexities of the American
experience in all its diverse and startling incarnations. This
collection is a major achievement by one of the best kept secrets
of the American Theater."
-Carey Perloff, Artistic Director, American Conservatory Theatre
