Playwright

Jane Chambers was born in Columbia, South Carolina, but grew up in Orlando, Florida, where she started writing scripts for local public radio stations. She studied at Rollins College, intending to become a playwright, but dropped out after she encountered discrimination as a woman there. After studying acting for a season at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1956, she moved to New York City. She enrolled at Goddard College in 1968, where she met Beth Allen, who would remain her lover, companion, and manager for the rest of her life.

Completing her degree in 1971, Chambers began to achieve recognition as a writer: she won the Rosenthal Award for Poetry, and her play Christ in a Treehouse, won a Connecticut Educational Television Award. In 1972, she received a Eugene O'Neill Fellowship for Tales of the Revolution and Other American Fables, staged at the Eugene O'Neill Memorial Theater. She helped establish theater at the Women's Interart Center in New York, putting on her play Random Violence there in 1972. Her writing for the soap opera Search for Tomorrow won her a Writers Guild of America Award in 1973. A Late Snow, produced at Playwrights Horizons in 1974 was one of the earliest plays to portray lesbian characters in a positive light.

In 1980, Chambers started writing Last Summer at Bluefish Cove, a new play about a queer woman and her lesbian friends after she is diagnosed with cancer. The play opened Off-Broadway in 1980 starring Jean Smart, running for eighty performances. Smart won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play. Smart reprised her role for the Los Angeles premiere at the Fountain Theatre in 1983. That landmark production ran for two sold-out years, earning Smart the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Actress. The Fountain production also received a Certificate of Outstanding Theatre from the City of Los Angeles. The play opened at Theater in the Square in San Francisco in 1984, starring Susan Sullivan. It has since been performed worldwide.

Chambers was herself diagnosed with cancer in 1981. She continued to write, producing My Blue Heaven for the Second Gay American Arts Festival, and The Quintessential Image for the Women's Theatre Conference in Minneapolis. She died at her home in Greenport, Long Island on February 15, 1983. Starting in 1984, there has been an annual award in her name, the Jane Chambers Playwriting Award, recognizing new plays by women and genderqueer writers for the stage.
