Joy Gregory BIO
Joy Gregory is an American writer, director, and producer who has made a significant impact on the world of theater. Born in New York City, Gregory grew up in the Bronx, where she attended the High School of Music and Art. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Barnard College and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Yale School of Drama.
Gregory began her career as a playwright, with her first play, "Shades of Brown," premiering at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 1986. Since then, she has written numerous plays that have been produced in theaters across the country. Some of her most notable works include "Siblings," "Jitterbugging: Scenes of Sex in a New Society," and "The Shaker Chair."
In addition to her work as a playwright, Gregory has also made a name for herself as a director and producer. She has directed productions of her own plays, as well as works by other playwrights, including "The Heidi Chronicles" by Wendy Wasserstein and "The Laramie Project" by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project.
Gregory has also worked extensively in television and film. She has written for several popular television shows, including "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Mad Men," and "American Crime." She has also written and produced several films, including "A Place to Be Loved" and "The Other Side of Love."
One of Gregory's most significant contributions to the world of theater came in 1990, when she co-founded the Women's Project Theater in New York City. The Women's Project Theater is dedicated to producing and promoting the work of female playwrights, directors, and producers. The theater has been instrumental in launching the careers of many female artists and has helped to create a more diverse and inclusive theater community.
Gregory's most recent work includes the play "Salvage," which premiered at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley, California, in 2018. The play tells the story of a woman who returns to her hometown after a long absence and must confront the ghosts of her past. "Salvage" received critical acclaim for its powerful storytelling and nuanced characters.
