Playwright's Spotlight featuring Adam Hunter Howard

Send us Fan Mail

Adam Hunter Howard is a playwright, mentor, guest director and dean at Harvard-Westlake Upper School in North Hollywood, California. We have worked together as costars in our the first two full-length plays produced by Punk Monkey Productions, Steven Dietz' Private Eyes and The Maiden Prayer by Nicky Silver, whose poster can be seen in the background of Adam's shots.

In this episode, we discuss working with young/beginning playwrights, structure, privilege, Aristotle's Poetics, success, joining the Playwright's Guild, practical effects versus implied effects and action, conflict and unveiling nuance through actors and layers.

Based on the amount of material covered and our personal history, this may be my favorite and most entertaining episode thus far. I hope you enjoy it.
