Deb Margolin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deb Margolin (born September 8, 1953) is an American performance artist and playwright. Coming to prominence in the 1980's, as script-writer and performer in the feminist theater troupe Split Britches, Margolin has since gone solo in a string of one-woman shows, which she continues to perform. A compilation of her scripts, Of All The Nerve: Deb Margolin SOLO, was published in 1999 by Cassell/Continuum Press. It was edited by literary theorist Lynda Hart, who wrote commentary on each piece.

In 2005, Margolin won the Kesselring Prize for her play, Three Seconds in the Key, a piece which reflected her own experiences with Hodgkin's Disease. [2]
She currently teaches playwriting and performance at Yale University.
