Sandy MacDonald, a double dropout (The Putney School and Barnard), was studying at HB Studio in 1969 when she became an editor and translator (Barthes, Jodorowsky, et al.) for TDR: The Drama Review, then at NYU; in 1970 Joe Papp invited the staff to initiate the journals Performance and Scripts at the Public Theater. In 1972 the Provincetown Playhouse staged her translation of Dacia Maraini’s Il Manifesto (commissioned by the feminist literary journal Aphra, which she helped edit). Moving to Boston in 1974, she embarked on long editorial stints as arts editor at New Age magazine and, later, slush czar at Houghton Mifflin, while freelancing for national magazines and writing several books. Having covered New England for TheaterMania.com and the Boston Globe since 2002, she now reviews in New York as well, as a member of the Drama Desk. Avocationally, she sings with the Collegiate Chorale. www.sandymacdonald.com
