Wendy Belden, Playwright

We are excited for the 2026 "Behind the Curtains" podcast episodes and have some exciting guests lined up. Starting us off is Playwright Wendy Belden who chatted with us about her transition from being on the stage to writing what we hear from the stage, types of plays she tends to write, her unique process for completing new works, and one specific play that really impacted her. Also get details about her show "Higher Ground" - written after the Helene Hurricane, her newest play entitled "The Blood Census" (which features two bowls of blood), and information on a February 26 reading of the latter play at the Little Animals Gallery. And what U.S. Senator is she intrigued by and who might be featured in a future play?
