Teresa Mella Fogel is a playwright in the second chapter of her life. She spent over 30 years in the financial industry working and raising a family. Through all those years she was always writing; stories, articles, poems. Teresa retired from the financial world and gravitated towards Playwrighting. She has written five full length plays and has many one acts and shorts in her inventory. Her play, “Wedding Day Blues”, was produced at Theatre Artists Workshop New play festival in April of 2018. The ICWP chose her play “Speed Dating”, as one of the winners of their 3-minute play contest. Her play, “Looking for Juliet” was published in the Drama Notebook in Spring of 2020, and her play Knock! Knock! was a semi-finalist at the Garry Marshall Theatre New Works Festival. Her play “Hotel du Vin” was produced virtually in the Theatre Artists Fall 2020 Festival and her play, “Gruyere or Swiss”, was produced virtually in the Theatre Artists Spring 2021 Festival. Several of her plays have been produced and had readings at Drama Works Theatre in Old Saybrook, CT where she is one of two playwrights in residence. Teresa co-founded Shoreline Playwrights to create opportunities for new work. She is also a member of the Dramatists Guild, PWC, International Center for Women Playwrights, Honor Roll and the League of Professional Theatre Women. She gets her inspiration living on the Connecticut shoreline town of Old Saybrook with her husband of 35 years.
What a thrill to be in these hallowed halls!
Tried my hand at script-in-hand acting to better myself as a playwright. Meryl has nothing to worry about!

I was a little under the weather but Marsha Norman was very comforting!
Was lucky to meet and subsequently co-found Shoreline Playwights with my partner in crime, Laura Thoma, an amazing playwright!
