Julia Cho '96, a "playwright of clear promise"

In a November 21, 2006 review of the play “Durango,” New York Times theater critic Christopher Isherwood praises the work of the author, Julia Cho ‘96.

Ms. Cho, a young playwright of clear promise, develops even the potentially hackneyed themes with a laconic, natural ease that earns respect and admiration. Nothing in “Durango” feels particularly new, but nothing in it feels contrived or dishonest, either.

The article features an audio slide show with narration by Cho, speaking about “Durango” and her previous work. The play, “about a Korean immigrant and his two sons squabbling, soul-baring and eventually healing, just a little, as they tool around the Southwest,” runs through December 10 at the Public Theater. Thanks to Min for the tip.
