the Actress
Geralyn Horton is a playwright, director, and actor. Her writing career high point may have been the summer of 1990, when her play set in a Boston abortion clinic, Under Siege (aka Choices) was picked for the Sundance Lab, and she rubbed shoulders with Robert Redford and the "emerging" Tony Kushner. Her acting high points include an abundance of premieres. Besides the American premieres of Rona Munro's Bold Girls, Marina Carr's Portia Coughlan and Liz Lockhead's Perfect Days, all at the Sugan Theatre, she has appeared in dozens of new plays written by colleagues-- including an appearance at NYC's La Mama in It Doesn't Take a Tornado, which, like Martha Mitchell, was written specifically for her by Rosanna Yamagiwa Alfaro. Dozens of Horton's own play scripts are available on her web site: StagePage.Info. She has had productions of her work in England, Ireland,
France, Italy, Germany, Greece, New Zealand, India, and South Africa; and in US high schools and colleges.
