A.R. Gurney
Born in 1930, A.R. Gurney found his writing legs while writing shows to entertain the military during the Korean War, during which he served in the Navy. After his service was over, Gurney enrolled in the Yale School of Drama. He later taught English and Latin at a boy's school before becoming a faculty member at M.I.T. in Cambridge.
In 1958, Gurney wrote the first musical ever to be produced at Yale. He's written several plays since that time, with work produced in the 80s bringing him his most critical acclaim and success. Several of his plays have been featured on Broadway.
