Nancy Cooper Frank’s most recent play, “The Plumber,” won first prize in FirstStage LA’s One-Act festival and premiered in the 2014 Arundel Theatre Trail in the UK, before forming half of a show (co-written and co-produced by Linda Ayres-Frederick) that won “Best of Fringe” in the 2014 San Francisco Fringe Festival. Also in 2014, a staged reading of “Daniil Kharms: A Life in One Act and Several Dozen Eggs” was Virago Theatre Company’s offering for the opening festivities of The Flight Deck in Oakland. (Daniil Kharms and all those eggs had previously traveled to The Great Plains Theatre Conference.) Nancy is a member of the Dramatist’s Guild and the Monday Night Group playwrights’ workshop. A former teacher of Russian literature, Nancy holds a Ph.D. in Slavic Languages and Linguistics from Brown University. She still dips into Gogol when no one is looking.
