Grace McKeaney is an American television writer, playwright, educator, and actor.
She attended Northwestern University and starred as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. She obtained an MFA in playwriting from the Yale School of Drama. While working on her degree at Yale, she was playwright-in-residence at Evanston Repertory Theatre, and her one-act farce, Fits and Starts, a "soap-opera satire", was performed by the Womyn's Theatre in Seattle in 1978.[1]
In Baltimore, she was a teacher to elementary and junior high classes. She also taught a course in playwriting at Northwestern University.[2]
Even though she has written television episodes of Roseanne,[3] St. Elsewhere,[2][3] The Client, The Hoop Life and The Education of Max Bickford, she considers herself primarily a playwright.[2]
