Here, winning student playwright and Youth Council member Haley Gordon interviews Philadelphia Young Playwrights alumna Quiara Alegria Hudes about her success and her path to playwriting. Hudes has twice been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize (for Elliot: A Soldier's Fugue in 2007 and In the Heights in 2009) and a Tony Award (for the Book of In the Heights).

This interview took place during the Paula Vogel Playwriting Bootcamp. Over the weekend of January 15 and 16, 2011, Paula Vogel, joined by Young Plawrights alumna Hudes, engaged a group of students, playwrights and theatre artists from across Philadelphia in conversations on playwriting form, the current state of theater and the craft of writing. The participants engaged in a number of collective and individual writing challenges.

Paula Vogel is among America's most distinguished playwrights, having been awarded a Pulitzer Prize for her 1997 play How I Learned to Drive, and is perhaps its most renowned teacher of playwriting. Currently, Ms. Vogel is the Eugene O'Neill Professor of Playwriting and Playwriting Chair at the Yale School of Drama.
