John Jiler writes drama and prose. He won both the Richard Rodgers Award and Kleban Librettists’ Award for AVENUE X, which began at Playwrights’ Horizons and played some fifty cities around the world. He won a New Dramatists’ Weissberger Prize for his first full-length play SOUR SPRINGS. His work has been seen coast-to-coast, from the Labyrinth Theater to the Eugene O’Neill National Playwright’s Conference to the Kennedy Center and places in between. His most recent book, Sleeping With The Mayor, was a New York Times’ “Most Notable Book.” His first, Dark Wind, was called by the Village Voice “a classic.”
