Maya Levy grew up in a big house on a corner, in a small town in Louisiana, where, after many wanderings across the globe, she lives today. On the same corner.

She loves being a theatre artist because, to her, theatre is one of the few places she knows where everybody wins. The actors have a wonderful time rehearsing and then giving the play away to the audience. The audience has a wonderful time. Engaged by the players, they lose themselves in the play.

As a playwright, Maya loves the idea that, while she lives in her little corner of the world, she’s connected, through her plays, to people all around the globe. The young woman in Yellow Knife, Ontario. A student in Belgium. Recovering addicts in a rehab center in South Carolina. The girl in Holland, playing her part in Dutch. Audiences, sitting in the dark, lost in the magic of theatre. Through Maya’s words, they come to know something more about her. They’re connected in a very real and wonderful way. They’re neighbors in the global village.
