Diana M HowieDiana Howie has written eleven full-length plays and a musical, and seen them all produced. Like the monologues in Tight Spots, four of her plays, The Brightest Light, Susanna of Stratford, Judy's Friend, and Leaving San Jacinto, use real people (Aleander Hamilton, Susanna Shakespeare, Judy Garland, Sam Houston) as characters. Characters in her other plays are inspired by people she has known, but are essentially fictional creations. Before taking up writing full time, Ms. Howie was a reference librarian in New Jersey libraries. Since moving to Texas, she has completed undergraduate and graduate studies in theatre and was fortunate to have studied in Houston with Jose Quintero, a legendary director of new work for the stage. Ms. Howie has been Playwright in Residence of The Queensbury Theatre since 1997, and has been a teaching artist in Houston elementary schools where she introduced theatre arts to about 500 students each school year. She is a member of The Dramatists Guild of America. Read More Read Less
