Jenna Zark

Jenna Zark is a columnist, lyricist and an award-winning playwright whose plays have been produced in New York and around the country. Zark’s play A BODY OF WATER had its debut at Circle Repertory in New York, and was chosen by the National Foundation for Jewish Culture on the 350th anniversary of Jewish life in America as a play that "breaks new ground." Other plays include ALYESKA, produced at Blank Slate Theatre; A GREAT MIRACLE HAPPENED HERE at the Illusion Theater's Fresh Ink Series; I WOULDN’T BE HERE and IN COYA’S HOUSE at the Great American History Theatre. Her play THE WORLD TO COME was originally commissioned and produced as a one-act by the Jewish Women's Theater Project in Los Angeles. Since that time the play has been revised as a full-length and was workshopped at The Producer's Club in New York. She is a two-time winner of the McKnight Advancement Artists Fellowship and a member of Prosody, a composer-lyricist group whose work is performed at Twin Cities cabarets. She is also the author of a young-adult novel about an eleven-year-old Beat girl's adventures in 1958 Greenwich Village.
