Theater 74: The Near-Death Laundry Chute Experience
Writer: Patricia Motto
Patricia Motto’s first published work came in the Byford Booster when she wowed her teacher with two complete correctly punctuated sentences at the age of six. Since then she has at various times taught college-level composition and continues to make a living as a freelance writer. She graduated from law school and became an attorney specializing in sexual harassment. She now has three completed full plays and several one-acts under her belt and is working on turning her Vietnam-era play into a musical. She lives happily with her shelter dog, Fosse, in Elmhurst, Illinois where she also choreographs for and dances with The Tree Town Tappers.
