SUSAN BERNFIELD is the founder and artistic director of New Georges, an award-winning nonprofit theater company which produces ambitiously theatrical new plays downtown and provides an artistic home to some of the most adventurous theater artists (who are women) working today. Since 1992, she has produced 34 new plays off off Broadway (including works by Eisa Davis, Sheila Callaghan, Jenny Schwartz, Diana Son, Kate Moira Ryan, Lisa D'Amour, Tracey Scott Wilson and Neena Beber), ten festivals of new work, and countless shorter works, performance pieces and works in progress. Susan is also a playwright and solo performer whose plays have been presented or developed at, among others, O'Neill Playwrights Conference, Playwrights Horizons, HB Playwrights, New York Theatre Workshop, Magic Theatre, Adirondack Theatre Festival and, of course, New Georges, where her play Stretch (a fantasia) premiered earlier this year. Susan is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and trained as an actor at Circle in the Square Professional Workshop. She serves on the LCT3 Brain Bank, an advisory council to Lincoln Center Theater's new emerging artists' initiative, and as a Vice President on the Board of Directors of the Alliance of Resident Theaters/New York (A.R.T./New York).
