June Carryl

Playwright and actor who grew up in Denver, Colorado. Starting out in Political Science at Brown, intending to be a lawyer, she bailed on the last round of LSAT's and pursued a Ph.D. in English Literature instead. She wrote a play for her midterm in a Drama survey course taught by Paula Vogel (How I Learned To Drive, The Baltimore Waltz) who invited to join her playwriting class where she studied with two of the best writers to come out of that or any program, Pulitzer Prize Winner Nilo Cruz (Night Train to Bolina, Anna in the Tropics) and the late John C. Russell (Stupid Kids), as well as guest artists Aisha Rahman and Anna Deavere Smith.

琼·卡里尔是一位剧作家和演员，在科罗拉多州丹佛长大。她最初在布朗大学攻读政治学，本打算成为一名律师，但在最后一次法学院入学考试前放弃，转而攻读英语文学博士学位。在保拉·沃格尔（Paula Vogel，代表作《如何学会开车》《巴尔的摩华尔兹》）教授的戏剧概论课程中，她为其中考试写了一部剧本，沃格尔邀请她加入自己的剧本创作班。在那里，她与两位出自该课程（或任何课程）的优秀作家——普利策奖得主尼洛·克鲁兹（Nilo Cruz，代表作《夜车去博利纳》《安娜在热带》）和已故的约翰·C·拉塞尔（John C. Russell，代表作《笨小孩》）——以及客座艺术家阿伊莎·拉赫曼（Aisha Rahman）和安娜·迪维尔·史密斯（Anna Deavere Smith）一起学习。
