John Jiler

John Jiler is a writer of both drama and prose. He was the recipient of both the Richard Rodgers Award and the Kleban Librettists’ Award for Avenue X, which played in New York at Playwrights Horizons and in 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 Eugene O’Neill National Playwright’s Conference to the Kennedy Center to Seattle Rep and many places in between. His most recent book, Sleeping With The Mayor, was named a New York Times’ “Notable Book Of The Year.” His first, Dark Wind, was called by the Village Voice “a classic.”
