J.T. Rogers BIO
J.T. Rogers is an American playwright and screenwriter, best known for his work on the stage. Born in Maryland in 1968, Rogers attended college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he studied history and political science. After graduation, he moved to New York City to pursue a career in theater.
Rogers made his Broadway debut in 2017 with his play "Oslo," which won the Tony Award for Best Play that year. The play tells the story of the secret negotiations between Israel and Palestine that led to the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993. "Oslo" was first produced Off-Broadway at Lincoln Center Theater in 2016, where it received critical acclaim and won the Obie Award for Best New American Play.
Prior to "Oslo," Rogers had written several other plays that were produced Off-Broadway and regionally. His plays include "Blood and Gifts," which premiered at the National Theatre in London in 2010, and "The Overwhelming," which premiered at the National Theatre in 2006. "The Overwhelming" was also produced Off-Broadway at the Roundabout Theatre Company in 2007.
In addition to his work in theater, Rogers has also written for television and film. He wrote the screenplay for the 2012 film "The Domino Effect," which starred Jesse Eisenberg and Andy Garcia. He has also written for the television series "Madam Secretary" and "The Americans."
Rogers' plays often deal with political themes and historical events. In an interview with The New York Times, he said, "I'm interested in the way that politics intersects with our personal lives, and the way that history shapes who we are." His plays are known for their complex characters and intricate plotting.
Rogers is married to actress Jennifer Mudge, who has appeared in several of his plays. They have two children together.
Most recently, Rogers wrote the screenplay for the film "The Trial of the Chicago 7," directed by Aaron Sorkin. The film tells the story of the trial of seven anti-war protesters who were charged with conspiracy and inciting a riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The film was released on Netflix in 2020 and received critical acclaim, earning six Academy Award nominations, including Best Original Screenplay for Rogers and Sorkin.
