Stewart, Ellen (sh)




born งใ 1920, Alexandria, La., U.S.

U.S. theatre director.

In the 1950s she moved to New York City to become a Fashion designer. In 1961 she founded Cafe La Mama, an experimental theatre specializing in total integration of Music, Dance, and drama. There she gave a start to many young actors and playwrights, including Bette Midler and Sam Shepard. Stewart became known as the mother of Off-Off-Broadway theatre. A European tour in 1965 made La Mama a mecca for European avant-garde directors. Its frequently distinguished productions have made La Mama a venerated institution and have won more than 50 Obie Awards.
