When Personhood is Your Livelihood

Tony Award winner Itamar Moses is a playwright, a book writer for musicals, and a screenwriter on several TV shows. Each of these art forms is rewarding, he says, but playwriting is thus far the medium that allows him full creative control. Perhaps for that reason, it’s also the arena in which he probes the most personal subject matter. Like many novelists, screenwriters, and playwrights, Itamar draws both directly and indirectly on first-hand experience, and he admits that getting to a place of vulnerability invariably leads to better storytelling. What does it mean for personal excavation to be your livelihood?
