Mother Of Appalachian Theater Keeps Marching On
Margot Lee, a Kentucky born playwright now 60, continues writing and teaching theater after four decades in the arts. Despite cancer in remission, she plans a move from Summers County to Lewisburg to teach at COGS and pursue new plays. Lee favors organic creation, drawing from local oral histories and avoiding Hollywood conventions. She has produced and written multiple works, with Ecotheater staging some of her plays.
