KARLA JENNINGS (Playwright) is a Georgia resident, the fourth of seven children, and a
graduate of the University of Illinois, Duke, and U.C., Berkeley. A newspaper reporter, freelancer, and
book author as well as playwright, her works have been produced in Atlanta and in New York. Dish
Babies was workshopped by Stage Door Player's Theater in Dunwoody, Georgia, under the directorship
of Adriana Warner and Sondralyn Dannelley, with the showcase directed by DeWayne Morgan. It was a
semi-finalist in the 1998 Rochester Playwright Festival/Midwest Theatre Network New Play
Competition and winner of the Do Gooder 1998 New Playwright Award competition leading to this L.A.
developmental production. Do Gooder will produce Dish Babies Off-Broadway this Fall. Heartfelt
thanks to Mark Robert Gordon for making this dream come true, and to Justine Lambert for leaving
civilized New York to spend two months in decadent L.A. directing this play. Jennings' husband, Kurt
Wiesenfeld, is a physicist at Georgia Tech. They tried for twelve years (three in vitros, two egg
donations) to have children. Sophia Stella and Alexis Elaine Wiesenfeld were born January 31, 2000,
the day after the most exciting Superbowl in history (which Karla was too busy to watch). She thanks
Warner and Stella Jennings for being such great parents and will always wonder how they managed to
raise so many kids without going insane. Her infinite love to the Man of Numbers and the two short
divisions, who are entirely beautiful. Sometimes your greatest desire does come true.

JAN STUEWE (Costume Designer) learned to love theater production in college and, after a

Stuewe has since sewn and designed costumes for West Coast Dance Theater, Golden Performing Arts,

part of the magic that is live theater. She hopes you all enjoy!
