Dan Moretti is a lawyer in New York City who is finding success as a playwright. During COVID, Dan started writing one-act plays, which have since been produced by New York theater workshop groups with professional actors. His plays draw inspiration from his own life experiences, including his background as a lawyer. Dan tells about the inspirations for his work, how his attorney training helps him structure his plays and how he broke into the NYC world of theater workshops, where new works are discovered.
Topics we cover:
Where he gets his ideas and inspiration. His plays "The Groomer" and "Ascension Day" tackle timely social and political issues.
How he structures his plays, drawing on his experience as a trial lawyer to keep the narrative arc on track.
How he connected to the New York theater community, getting his plays selected for production and attracting the involvement of experienced Broadway actors and
directors.
How he sees playwriting as a fulfilling creative outlet and a potential retirement activity, so different from his work as a lawyer.
