Happy Birthday to the brilliant Maria Irene Fornes! Your avant-garde spirit and fearless exploration of feminism and social justice have inspired countless audiences. Who else could make us laugh, cry, and question society all in one evening? From your groundbreaking play "Fefu and Her Friends," which earned you that well-deserved Obie Award back in 1977, you've shown us how theater can be both powerful and playful.Here's hoping your birthday is as delightfully unconventional as your plays—filled with laughter, creativity, and perhaps a little friendly chaos. Keep challenging norms; after all these years, you're still our favorite theatrical rebel!
