Linda Faigao-Hall has written fourteen plays, all but three of which have been produced. Before joining Starfish Theatreworks, Linda had only been produced by Asian-American theatres. Since becoming a member of the Mainstage Company she has been produced on our Mainstage three times; took our company class to learn how to teach our Literacy-Through-Theatre Method; and joined the faculty of our Teen Training program. Linda is currently at work setting a play we commissioned last season, about a Philappina mail-order bride, to music. She has now been produced by such theatres as The Working Theatre; Lark Theatre Company; Expanded Arts; East West Players; Ma-Yi Ensemble; Henry Street Theatre Arts Center; and the Pan Asian Repertory Theatre.
