Tracey Wilson was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey. She received a B.A. from Rutgers University and an M.A. from Temple University. While at Temple she wrote a satiric novel entitled I Don't Know Why That Caged Bird Won't Shut-Up.After receiving 28 rejections for that novel in one day, she developed writer's block for one year. To combat this block, Ms. Wilson took a playwriting class at the 63rd Street YMWCA in New York City. The following year she won a Van Lier Playwriting Fellowship from the New York Theatre Workshop. In September 2000, Theatre Outrageous produced her first play, Exhibit 9, an outrageous satire greatly influenced by George C. Wolfe's Colored Museum. In April of that same year, New Georges Theatre produced her second full-length play,Leader of the People. She received the Helen Merrill Award for Emerging Playwrights and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Award for her latest play,the Story. The Joseph Papp Public Theatre is producing the Story in December 2003.
