The Power Behind The Plays At Humana

Amy Wegener is the literary director for Actors Theatre of Louisville, and she’s the leader of the pack when it comes to finding scripts, reading plays, and getting everyone – artistic directors most definitely included – into conversations around what shows should run at the Humana Festival of New American Plays. As this year’s festival wraps up next weekend, she’s prepping for 2019 and thinking about how to support the playwrights, directors, actors, and everyone else involved. “I’m constantly reminded that every project and team is different — you’re embarking on exploring a brand-new world each time, even with beloved collaborators.”
