Her first play had 30 scenes and 57 characters, and her 2001 play Casanova covered 73 years in 19 scenes set between Paris and Venice.[3][4] Her most well-known plays include: Tales of the Lost Formicans, Casanova, Lips, Losing Father's Body, The Misanthrope, A Mother, No Mercy, The Servant of Two Masters, Tartuffe and Paradise Street. [5] She has written a number of opera libretti and seven plays for the Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis.[6][7] Her playwriting career includes an adaptation of Maxim Gorky’s A Mother with Olympia Dukakis in the lead role.[8] Congdon was born in Rock Rapids, Iowa. Her first play, Gilgamesh, was produced in 1977. Congdon received her M.F.A. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1982.[9] She taught playwriting at Amherst College from 1993 to 2018 as its Playwright-in-Residence.[10] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Playwright’s Center Profile|url=https://pwcenter.org/profile/constance-congdon/ |work=pwcenter.org|date=2015 |accessdate=2015-08-22 }} 2. ^{{cite book|last1=Kushner|first1=Tony|title=Tales of the Lost Formicans (Introduction)|date=1999|publisher=Samuel French Company|location=New York|isbn=9780881450910|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gQBfCQAAQBAJ&pg=PT6&lpg=PT6&dq=tales+of+the+lost+formicans+intro+tony+kushner&source=bl&ots=gR2L-h0lC0&sig=FK1vY2gAbZbyuM1XQxELnDmId9Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAmoVChMIiI6GoNDOxwIVhs2ACh2SdgOZ#v=onepage&q=tales%20of%20the%20lost%20formicans%20intro%20tony%20kushner&f=false|accessdate=29 August 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Bomb Magazine Interview |url= http://bombmagazine.org/article/1494/constance-congdon |work=bombmagazine.org|date=2015 |accessdate=2015-08-22 }} 4. ^{{cite news|title=A Mother |url=http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Dukakis-portrays-courageous-Mother-2757432.php|work=sfweekly.com |date=2015 |accessdate=2015-08-22 }} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Broadway Play Publishing |url=http://www.broadwayplaypub.com/play-authors/constance-congdon/?_sfm_wpcf-authornamealphabetical=Congdon,+Constance|work=broadwayplaypub.com |date=2015 |accessdate=2015-08-22 }} 6. ^{{cite news |title=Samuel French |url=http://www.samuelfrench.com/p/17132/tales-of-the-lost-formicans |work=samuelfrench.com |date=2015 |accessdate=2015-08-22 }} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Arkatov|first1=Janet|title=Present, Future Collide in Congdon's 'Lost Formicans' : Stage: Her play, which is coming to the Matrix, is of single mothers, aliens and disillusioned youth|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1989-11-07/entertainment/ca-921_1_congdon-plays-lost|accessdate=29 August 2015|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=November 7, 1989}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=A Mother |url=http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Dukakis-portrays-courageous-Mother-2757432.php|work=sfweekly.com |date=2015 |accessdate=2015-08-22 }} 9. ^{{cite web |url= https://www.amherst.edu/aboutamherst/magazine/issues/2007_fall/mylifecongdon |title=My Life: Constance Congdon | Amherst College |first=Katherine |last=Duke |work=amherst.edu |year=2015 |accessdate=29 August 2015}} 10. ^{{cite news|title= Historical Dictionary of Contemporary American Theater: 1930-2010 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m6O5-spILIUC&pg=PA172&lpg=PA172&dq=rock+rapids+congdon&source=bl&ots=JC4uWql7LX&sig=rzgrD3ZplMliqYtMbJlUakS73MA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAGoVChMIhMbV5pq-xwIVk4uSCh0WmQ4A#v=onepage&q=rock%20rapids%20congdon&f=false |work=books.google.com |date=2015 |accessdate=2015-08-22 }} External links
