Meet The Amateurs Playwright: Jordan Harrison
Jordan Harrison is a Pulitzer Prize nominated playwright. In 2015, he was nominated for his play Marjorie Prime, which premiered at the Mark Taper Forum and ran at Playwrights Horizon. The play was adapted to film in 2017 and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. His other work includes Maple and Vine, The Grown-Up, Doris to Darlene, a cautionary tale, and Log Cabin among many others. Harrison received his BFA from Stanford University and an MFA in playwriting from Brown University, where he studied under Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive). Harrison has also written and produced for the Netflix original series “Orange is the New Black.”
The originating idea for The Amateurswas the “flicker of humanism” that emerged in the Late Middle Ages. Before the Renaissance, theatre focused on retelling Biblical stories. Medieval guild members and amateur actors put on plays like The Fall of Man, Cain and Abel, and The Raising of Lazarus to familiarize the illiterate public with scripture and reinforce Christian themes.
