PlayPenn Playwright - Eric Pfeffinger

With great sorrow we report the passing of Veronica Griego who died in a car accident on Saturday April 8th, 2006.

Veronica served a stage manager during PlayPenn’s inaugural conference and had moved into the job of Assistant to the Artistic Director and Production Manager for the coming season.

Veronica was a great and positive force within PlayPenn and in our theatre community. Form the time she arrived in Philadelphia she served the community at numerous theatres as stage manager and/or production manager including work at The Arden Theatre, Philadelphia Theatre Company, Amaryllis Theatre, Azuka theatre and in her most recent role as Associate Producer at The Prince Music Theatre. She was a writer whose fiction and journalism had seen publication and whose plays had been produced. Most recently her play ‘Twas The Night was produced by Azuka Theatre during this past holiday season. Veronica often let it be known that it was her work with new plays that was of deepest interest to her. She will live on in our work and we will miss her, dearly.

Veronica is survived by her parents George and Misao Griego, brother Joseph, sister Rose Ann and her fiancé, Buck Shirner.
