BIOGRAPHY
Wendy Wasserstein (b. 1950). The daughter of a textile manufacturer, Wendy Wasserstein was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised on Manhattan's upper east side. She attended Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts and developed an interest in playwriting. She later studied creative writing at CUNY and produced her first off-Broadway play in 1973. After the production, Wasserstein earned a master's degree from Yale University's School of Drama, where she worked with David Hollister and wrote for the Yale Cabaret Group. Wasserstein's first major success, Uncommon Women and Others, opened as a full scale off-Broadway production. She later produced her most successful plays, Isn't it Romantic, and The Heidi Chronicles, which won a Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
