Claude Solnik
Claude Solnik (playwright) is a playwright in residence at Theater for the New City, where around a dozen of his full-length plays have been presented. His play “A Life in the Rye” was named among the top ten plays of the year in New York City by theaterscene.net in 2019. His works range from drama to comedy, weaving the threads of character, situation and conflict. He would like to thank Crystal Field, Theater for the New City and the whole TNC staff for their support of his and others’ new work. And he’d like to thank JD Glickman and those in this production for taking this script from page to stage and his family for their encouragement.
