| Bethany Larsen, Member at Large |
|
Bethany grew up in New Jersey. The Sopranos-area kind of New Jersey. She attended Fordham University as a playwrighting/theatre major. While at Fordham, she had the pleasure of studying with Matthew Maguire, Elizabeth Margid, Michael Massee and Michael Mayer, to name jut a few. She also co-founded the Fordham Playwright's Project, a club that gave students the opportunity to write and produce their own works. A version of the program still exists, and playwrighting is finally its own major at Fordham.
She has worked as a stage manager (favorite project: a three month tour of Pippi Longstocking), hostess (remember the Harley Davidson Café?) and a bookkeeper/office manager. Her plays have been variously read or performed by the Prospect Theatre Company, Rattlestick Theatre, the Looking Glass Theatre, and the writing group Big Chunk (now called Unbound Playwrights).
Bethany is the Co-Development Director of Milk Can.
