An
Interview
with
Michael
Greif
Obie Award-winning director Michael Greif is known for bringing new plays and musicals to life both on and off Broadway,
in London, and in major regional theatres across the country. At the center of his process are long-term collaborations
with writers—such as Tony Kushner, Scott Frankel & Michael Korie, and Tom Kitt & Brian Yorkey, among others—and
with institutions such as The Public Theater, Playwrights Horizons, and Signature Theatre. We are thrilled to have
Michael back at Signature this fall directing Katori Hall’s new play Our Lady of Kibeho, his fifth play for Signature and
his first project at The Pershing Square Signature Center. Before diving into rehearsals this past September, Michael
had a chat with Literary Director Christie Evangelisto about the work to come and the wise ways of playwrights.
