Theatre--Performance (Playwright profile)



 David is the mind behind THE DIVINE VISITOR which will be read on Friday, June 22nd at 6:30 pm at Theatre 810. David has a great mind and a quick wit and ART is thrilled that we get to work with him. Check out his bio below and visit his website please!


David L. Williams (Playwright) is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Cornell University, where he was a four-time award recipient in the Heerman’s-McCalmon Playwriting contest (two 1st prizes for his plays The Murder of Gonzago and Ingulf and two 2nd prizes for his plays Behind the Nine Ball and Near Tragedy). He is a member of the Dramatist Guild and has written more than twenty-five plays and musicals, and his work has been produced in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Oregon, and Washington, D.C. His unproduced play Spake won EBE Ensemble’s “You Fill In The Blank” festival (NYC) and was a finalist in HotCity Theatre’s GreenHouse New Play Festival (St. Louis) and Inkwell Theatre’s Inkubator Festival (Washington, D.C.). His most recent play, The Winners, won the 2010 HotCity Theatre GreenHouse New Play Festival, and had its world premiere produced by HotCity in St. Louis this past September. The Winners was nominated for a Kevin Kline award for best new play, and reviewers called it “a Pinter play with a dirty mind,” “disquieting stuff,” “a shocking look at human nature,” and “a sharp, edgy story.” His work has been featured in the New York International Fringe Festival on four separate occasions.  David recently moved from New York to Bellefonte, PA with his wonderful wife Kathleen.
