Julia Jarcho is an American experimental playwright and director and professor of dramatic literature. She is the Artistic Director of Minor Theater, a theater company which produces and debuts her new works. She won the 2013 Obie for Best New American Play for Grimly Handsome.[1] Chief theater critic for The New York Times Ben Brantley has called her “a queen of experimental mayhem.”

[2]

Background

Jarcho grew up in New York City, where she attended Hunter College High School.[3][4] She graduated from Harvard College with a degree in Literature.[5] Her senior thesis, Going on: Wittgenstein's Liveness and the Grammar of Theater, included the production of an original play, Grammar.[6] She received her PhD from UC Berkeley’s Rhetoric Department in 2013.[7]

Career

Jarcho began her career in experimental theater as a performer, acting in plays by Richard Maxwell in Downtown New York theaters such as the Ontological Theater[8] and Soho Rep.[9]

Plays

Nursery, written when she was a senior at Hunter College High School, was a winner of the Young Playwrights Festival National Playwriting Competition and was performed at the Cherry Lane Theater in 2001.[10]

Her adaptation of Alfred Noyes’ poem, The Highwayman was presented at the NTUSA performance space in Brooklyn in December 2004 and published in The Best American Short Plays 2005-2006.[11]

Delmar was staged at the Prenzlkasper theater in Berlin, Germany, in October 2005. Jarcho later collaborated with visual artist, Meredith James, who adapted the play as a video installation at the Jack Hanley Gallery.[12]

As a member of the playwrights' collective, 13P, Jarcho's American Treasure was staged at Paradise Factory Theatre in November 2009. The New York Times called the play, "an odd, dense, oblique but haunting work" and noted that Jarcho is "a remarkably clever, bewitching writer and a master of stylized behavior."[13]

Grimly Handsome premiered at the Incubator Arts Project in January 2013 as part of the Other Forces Festival and won the Obie for Best New American Play that year. In January 2015 it was remounted at JACK in Brooklyn.

Other productions by Jarcho include: Dreamless Land which premiered with New York City Players at the Abrons Arts Center in November 2011; Nomads, directed by Alice Reagan, was the final play performed at the Incubator Arts Project in June 2014; Every Angel is Brutal, directed by Knud Adams, was part of Clubbed Thumb's Summerworks 2016 lineup and staged at the Wild Project.

Her most recent play, The Terrifying, premiered at the Abrons Arts Center in March 2017.

Style

The playwright Mac Wellman described Jarcho’s work as a writer and director as “Menippean satire...dealing with the whole analysis of what theater is.”[14][15]

Structurally, Jarcho's plays have employed unconventional storytelling techniques[16]—what the New Yorker and others have called, "non-linear,"[17][18] and Time Out New York and New York Theatre Review have referred to as "shifting" narratives.[19][20] Actors in Jarcho's productions often perform multiple roles to engage audiences in questions of coherent selfhood and stable identity.[16][21][2]
