Playwright and poet Gary Moore has taught writing in a dozen colleges and universities on three continents and has presented Lincoln-themed performance pieces for more than thirty years. His bi-lingual musical in Shanghai, The Great Emancipator Meets The Monkey King, introduced rap-music to the People's Republic of China six months before Tiananmen Square. His play based on that experience, Burning in China, sold out at the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival after being featured in The New York Times and recommended by The New Yorker. He is the former Academic Dean at Vermont College of Fine Arts. To learn more about Gary, visit his website: www.garymoore.news, or email him at: hisburningprogress@gmail.com.
