The Dramatists Guild of America has welcomed Adam Gwon and David Henry Hwang to its Council. The Guild is governed by a board of directors (Council) elected from its membership. These writers, in various stages of their theatrical careers, meet monthly to decide policy for the Guild.
"We are thrilled to welcome Adam Gwon onto Council and David Henry Hwang back onto Council," shared DG President Amanda Green in a statement. "They are both longtime Guild members: David joined in 1979, was first elected to Council 10 years later and stepped down in 2014. Adam has been a member for 16 years, was a DG Fellow, has taught several semesters of lyric writing for The Dramatists Guild Institute and for the past 9 years has served on The Dramatist Committee. David and Adam's illustrious careers, years of service to The Guild, and dedication to improving the lives of writers make them both wonderful additions to the Council."
