NPR's Desert Companion's BEST OF THE CITY

Best Local Playwright

Combine a wildly imaginative sensibility with the talent to put a black-comedic skew on thought-provoking material, usually set in Las Vegas, and you have Erica Griffin. She’s not only penned a raft of one-act gems like Waxing On (Lizzie Borden and Jack the Ripper offer couples therapy) but dark, full-length fare like the prize-winning, spirited Spearminted. We await her next opus with impatience. DM
