Stella Fawn Ragsdale
Hometown: Powell, Tennessee.
Current Town: I split my time between Sunnyside, Queens and the Hudson River Valley.
Q: Tell me, if you will, a story from your childhood that explains who you are as a writer or as a person.
A: I actually identify first and foremost as a farmer. Still not sure I identify as a person.
Q: Tell me about your play in Summer Shorts, Love Letters to a Dictator.
A: It’s about an unworthy American farmer upon whom the Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-il, bestows his great and glorious wisdom.
Q: What else are you working on now?
A: Finding new and greater ways to praise the Supreme Leader.
Q: If you could change one thing about theater, what would it be?
A: More censorship. Freedom of speech is overrated.
Q: Who are or were your theatrical heroes?
A: Kim Jong-il. Kim Jong-un. Dennis Rodman.
Q: What kind of theater excites you?
A: State-controlled theater.
Q: What advice do you have for playwrights just starting out?
A: Write plays that glorify your government. Make yourself a tool of the State. Don’t talk about South Korea.
Q: Plugs, please:
A: North Korea is #1! Also, Summer Shorts.
