Jeff Whitty
JEFF WHITTY won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical for Avenue Q, which ran six years on Broadway and then moved to its current home off Broadway at New World Stages. Additional mountings include five years in London's West End, U.S. and U.K. national tours, and dozens of international productions. This fall, his new musical Bring It On kicks off a New York bound national tour at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, with a score by Tom Kitt, Amanda Green, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Whitty's plays include The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler, The Hiding Place, The Plank Project, Balls, and Suicide Weather. Theaters mounting his work include the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Alliance Theatre, Atlantic Theater Company, South Coast Repertory, Vineyard Theatre, and The New Group, as well as The Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center, which hosted developmental workshops for Avenue Q and Tales of the City.
