Theater: Music Theater Lab Presents: A Conversation with Winnie Holzman
Winnie Holzman will be answering your questions about her highly successful career this Thursday afternoon. If you haven’t heard, she wrote the book for the musical “Wicked,” earned a Tony nomination for that, created “My So-Called Life,” won an Emmy for that and has even starred in “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” She’s also written for various other shows like “thirtysomething” and “Once and Again.” And she’s a graduate of Princeton’s Creative Writing department - but don’t judge yourself too harshly when comparing yourselves to her, guys.
