SUSAN LERSCH

Production Coordinator

SUSAN LERSCH (Production Coordinator) is the owner of Lersch & Hartman, a talent and literary representation and services firm in Chicago. She is proud to represent Christopher Moore and many other talented Chicago-area playwrights, designers, directors, and writers. Her firm provides a wide variety of literary, consulting, negotiation, and publicity services for theatre and literary artists. Her theatrical experience has included stints as playwright (SISTERS: SOME THEATRICAL RITUALS ABOUT THE NUNNERY; A NIGHT AT DYKES WHO DATE), actress, director, musical director, producer, novelist, and servant of the servants of God. Long stretches as a teacher and a trial law assistant have added to her ability to do the necessary. As Production Coordinator for The Pope Joan Company, she has performed an indescribably wide variety of editorial, legal, and negotiating, and communication tasks on behalf of Michael Butler and the Company. Arguably, her favorite role is that of the "near-hysterical" writer (thank you, Point Survey) of the "News of the Week" on The Pope Joan Workshop Web on the Internet. Of the hundreds of people to whom she owes deep karmic debt and joy, for this telling, she heads the list with her ever-patient husband, Denny Kinsella, the utterly unique and wonderful Michael Butler, and her friend, Christopher Moore.
