By day, Keith Burridge is a scientist. By night, a playwright.
By day, Keith Burridge, a professor in the UNC School of Medicine, studies cell signaling and how proteins regulate cell behavior. By night, he is a playwright.
“Playwriting for me is a kind of escape,” said Burridge. “It’s something I look forward to. Sometimes I am working in the lab and these random thoughts about a play will come to me, and I want to rush off and write them down.”
Burridge’s play “The First Woman President,” a one-woman show about former First Lady Edith Wilson, had a four-performance run as part of the International Midtown Theatre Festival in New York City in 2016.
