Jennifer
Bloomfield's award winning plays have been produced across the U.S.
In January, the play Water People was named Best Original Script in the Maryland One Act Festival. In April, her newest play, Coyote Dreams, premiered in Burlington, Vermont and her short play Mandolin, was presented this fall at the International Centre for Women Playwrights Regional Conference in Portland, Oregon. Currently, Jennifer's epic play about the old Jewish neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, Laughing under the Sea, is the fall 2001 recipient of the Flynn Center for the performing Arts NASA Grant for the development of new work. |

| Jennifer's
plays are a diverse reflection of her passion for the ironies and
dilemmas of human nature-- from the search for identity amidst the turmoil
of newly democratic Poland in Escaping Warsaw, to the supernatural
coming of age story of The Woman of My Dreams to the compromises
made by a mid-age couple in the beautiful countryside of small town Vermont
in Water People.
Some take place in surreal worlds (the political farce Fancy Pants and Blood, White and Blue); some cross time and space, memory and imagination (Laughing Under the Sea and Coyote Dreams); and some play out in the tight confines of real time (A Night in the Garden). Born in Ohio, Jennifer has lived in Poland, Japan, and Kentucky. She grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, earned degrees from Carnegie Mellon (MFA) and Brown (BA) and makes her home in Vermont. Writer-in-Residence and co-founder of The Orange Theatre Collaborative and Chair of General Studies at Burlington College, she is a member of the Dramatists Guild and the International Centre for Women Playwrights. Her plays and
writing samples are available by request at JennyFB@aol.com
