I hadn't planned to review the new musical MAYBE HAPPY ENDING, but I was so knocked out when I saw it last week that I made the case and was able to sell America magazine on a piece about it. If you haven't gone already, what are you waiting for?

I'm terribly sad that this had to appear, but pleased that Morgan is honored in this way. Whether you knew Morgan Jenness or not, read about this indispensable figure in the American theatre and this incalculable loss.
Morgan Jenness, Whose Artistic Vision Influenced American Theater, Dies at 72
A beloved figure in the theatrical community, she redefined the role of dramaturg, influencing playwrights like David Adjmi and David Henry Hwang.
