Morgan Jenness, a legendary figure in the theater community, was celebrated not only for her work with prominent playwrights but also for her fierce artistic integrity and dedication to new voices.
She had a complete indifference to material success, which she found frankly repelling. Her focus was always on the play itself, pushing writers to articulate their deeper passions.
In redefining the role of dramaturg, Jenness became a midwife to playwrights, supporting their visions and challenging conventional narratives in American theater, insisting that depth of purpose mattered over simple storytelling.
