Susan Charlotte is an award-winning playwright who is the recipient of the prestigious Joseph Kesselring Award. A prolific writer--she has written ten full lengths and forty one-acts--her plays have enjoyed productions throughout New York for over twenty years. Her film credits include: A Broken Sole (2006), which was released theatrically in 2007, starring Danny Aiello and directed by Antony Marsellis; Come On (2000), which premiered at the East Hampton Film Festival; and Love Divided By (2000) (based on her play) which has an original score by Philip Glass and was chosen to open MoMA's Titus II theatre. Her TV credits (network and cable) include: CBS' Comedy Zone (1984), which starred Patty Duke and Paul Reiser and daytime series Loving (1983) and Guiding Light (1952). Fascinated by the creative impulse, she wrote two acclaimed books, "Creativity" and "Creativity in Film". She further explored this impulse in her work as a professor at Columbia University (where she received her MFA), NYU and in such non-traditional places as Riker's Island. She also founded a school for writers, "Prism Playhouse", and two theatre companies--"Food For Thought Productions" (winner of the NAC's Gold Medal in Drama); and the not-for-profit theatre, "Cause Celebre". She's a member of the Dramatists Guild & the WGA.
