A Theatre in Community Podcast, Part 2 of our Conversation with Ernie Joselovitz

Today, we present Part 2 of our Theatre in Community conversation with playwright Ernest Joselovitz, founder of DC’s Playwrights Forum.

Ernie has been a resident of Washington, D. C., and the surrounding area for more than 50 years. His play, Hagar's Children, was produced by Joseph Papp at the New York Shakespeare Festival's Public Theater in 1977. Since then his 69 plays have been produced off Broadway and all around the USA.

For many years, he was Playwright in Residence at D.C.'s New Playwrights Theatre, working hand in glove with the founder and artistic director, the late Harry Bagdasain.

As Founder and Artistic Director of Playwrights Forum, Ernie has guided the development of hundreds of playwrights and their plays.
