Avery Hopwood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Avery Hopwood (May 28, 1882 - July 1, 1928) was an American playwright who wrote farces such as Getting Gertie's Garter (1927), and who co-wrote the famous mystery play "The Bat" (1920) with Mary Roberts Rinehart. He established the Hopwood Award at the University of Michigan, an award later won by Arthur Miller for his first play.
He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and he died in Juan-les-Pins, France. He is the only playwright to ever have four plays running simultaneously on Broadway (Neil Simon once had three).
The Hopwood Program at the University of Michigan, which was created by a bequest in his will, was named in his honor.
