| Michael Elyanow. Mr. Elyanow's first play was the 10-character dark comedy The Idiot Box. Directed by Jeremy B. Cohen and produced by Chicago's Naked Eye Theatre Company, it received its world premiere in 2003. It received a second production in 2007 at LA's Open Fist Theatre, where it went on to receive three Garland Award honorable mentions and was named best comedy by LAStageScene.com. Mr. Elyanow simplified things next by writing a 4-character comedy/drama titled Lullaby, which went on to become a finalist for the Lark Playwrights' Week as well as a nominee for The Cherry Lane Theatre Mentor Project. Lullaby has been workshopped at Hartford Stage Company, The Blank Theatre and Bristol Riverside Theatre. 12 Volt Heart, a theatrical collage co-written with Jeremy B. Cohen, was workshopped at Hartford Stage and was performed at Northwestern University's Struble Theatre (thanks to a major CIRA grant) in 2004. Mr. Elyanow's ten-minute play Banging Ann Coulter was a finalist for The 2004 Humana Festival Heideman Award and was performed at Chicago Dramatists. His most recent play, The Children, an updating of Medea, was a nominee for Cherry Lane's Mentor Project, and was workshopped at Shakespeare & Company as well as, most recently, Hartford Stage's Brand New Plays Festival. Mr. Elyanow is currently working on a play commissioned by Hartford Stage Company as part of their Hartford Heritage Project. He has led playwriting workshops at Hartford Stage and About Face Youth Theatre, and has taught writing courses at Northwestern University, Emerson College, and Hampshire College. |
