Bonnie Metzgar '86, former professor of literary arts and artistic director of the New Plays Festival, has become the artistic director of Chicago's About Face Theater, which focuses on gender and sexual identity. She began her work at the theater - which she described as the highest-profile lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning theater in the country - in mid-July, and hopes to remain for five years.

After two years teaching and directing at Brown, Metzgar, an award-winning director, producer and playwright, said she left Brown to join About Face hoping to further anchor the LGBTQ community in Chicago, invigorate advocacy and spread her message beyond Illinois.

"I am all about new voices, emerging artists and social justice," Metzgar said.
