The cast of REBORNING with playwright Zayd Dohrn.

Chicago playwright Zayd Dohrn was at the Fountain Theatre last night to catch a performance of our LA Premiere of his riveting play, Reborning. He enjoyed the production very much and met with the cast and production team upstairs in our cafe after the performance.

Born and raised in New York City, Zayd lives in Chicago with his wife and their two children, and currently teaches playwriting and screenwriting at Northwestern University. He happened to be Los Angeles for a few days on a TV job and seized the opportunity to come to the Fountain where the Los Angeles Premiere of his play opens this Saturday night, Jan 24th.

It was a delight for actors Kristin Carey, Ryan Doucette, and Joanna Strapp to meet the playwright and chat about the play with him over beers in the cafe. Director Simon Levy and producer/co-artistic director Stephen Sachs were both very pleased to have the writer at the Fountain.
