Yesterday morning this was a scoop, but then a letter came in the mail announcing it to the world. Walt McGough is a terrific young writer right here in Boston, hails from the mid-Atlantic, and spent time in Chicago writing and producing plays before coming to BPT for his MFA work last year. I had the opportunity to get to know him in Kate Snodgrass’ playwriting class, and he is excellent. His play, The Farm, was read in May ’10 at BPT’s The Ground Floor festival of new work readings, and it was gripping. BPT will be producing the play as part of it’s Fall ’11 lineup, and I couldn’t be happier for Walt. I guarantee you will be hearing his name and seeing his works in years to come.
