Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas is an American playwright and director. He first studied playwriting with Octavio Solis, Cherríe Moraga and María Irene Fornés. He received an MFA from Brown University and currently lives in New York. ==Plays== Possibly his highest profile play to date is ''Blind Mouth Singing'', which was produced by the Chicago based Teatro Vista in 2005 and by the National Asian American Theater Company (NAATCO) in New York in 2007. The NAATCO production was designated a Critic's Pick by ''The New York Times''. Writing for that newspaper Neil Genzlinger called the play "strange and beautiful". In 2010 ''Blind Mouth Singing'' was translated and produced in Havana. In 2012 the author directed a production of his play ''Bird in the Hand'' at Theater for the New City. That play was produced by Fulcrum Theater and was also designated as a Critic's Pick by ''The New York Times''. His short play ''Look! A Latino'' was produced by Ma-Yi Theater Company in New York in October 2004. The play was presented during an evening of shorts that also included plays by Kia Corthron, Han Ong, and Sung Rno. The title of the play was inspired by Frantz Fanon's well known essay, "The Fact of Blackness" in which Fanon recounts being hailed by a French girl with the phrase, "Look! A Negro!" (see ). ''Look! A Latino'' was subsequently published in the anthology ''Savage Stage: Plays by Ma-Yi Theater Company'' (see ) and by Playscripts, Inc.
