The Jewish Federation Connecting with Community series presents "Wendy Wasserstein and the World of Her Women (and some men)."  Diane G. Steinbrink will discuss the uncommon family life, education, and works of one of the most influential contemporary Jewish American playwrights.

Steinbrink will read monologues from some of the most famous plays, "The Heidi Chronicles," "The Sisters Rosensweig," "American Daughter," and "Third", her last play.  Her first and only novel, "Elements of Style" which was published posthumously, will also be discussed.

Audience discussion is welcome.
