One of the first things she said, the first day I met her, was 'When a door opens for you, you hold it open and you let one other person through.'"I wanted my students to get on Broadway before I did," Vogel said."I wanted my students to get produced at theater companies that I would never be produced in. And, you know, I always think of this as kind of one stop shopping; come in as an emerging playwright and leave the room as my colleague.
Her former students said it wasn't just their spirits being fed."She would take me to this place, Café Zog in Providence on Wickenden street and we'd have a cookie," Ruhl said."And, you know, she would feed her writers."Lynn Nottage recalled that when she and Vogel made their Broadway debuts in 2017, they frequently met for drinks, because they felt they weren't getting the support from the media and the Broadway community that they had hoped for.
All three playwrights have become teachers themselves, and friends with one another. Hudes said she and Vogel share early drafts of their plays."I have read. And I think it's her best play, and I don't say that lightly. I am in awe of her body of work."Jessica Lange plays the fictional version."In the play, Phyllis makes some absolutely unforgivable decisions and then really pays the price for it, lives with those consequences for the rest of her life," Lange said.
