Scott Huguenin wrote plays for adults and children. He started his career in the advanced playwriting class at Playwrights Theatre's Creative Arts Academy in Madison, NJ, and had his work performed at Playwrights Theatre, 12 Miles West, The Festival of NJ Writers, Funny Bones Festival, the MultiStages New Works Festival and the Tada Youth Theatre in NYC.

For over 20 years, he taught enrichment programs and second grade in the Roxbury School District and at a private Catholic School in Sayreville, NJ, where he earned numerous "Teacher of the Year" awards for both his classroom work and extra-curricular clubs and shows he helped to create and run.

Scott passed away unexpectedly at the age of 47 in August 2012, leaving behind a loving family and a large body of plays. In 2012, his brother Marc published four volumes.

"We will celebrate the life of this extraordinary man with a staged reading working with professional actors at RoxPAC in Roxbury on Saturday April 26," said John Pietrowski, Artistic Director of Playwrights Theatre. "Two pieces written for children and their families will be performed at 4:00pm, with four additional pieces recommended for older audiences at 5:30pm. In between the two readings there will be a reception with light refreshments. We hope to see you there."
