Tiffa Foster dropped out of her college theater program in the fall of 1999 and switched to studying bioethics, Mandarin, and Tibetan. Then she became an HIV/STD-test counselor in San Francisco, an ESL teacher, an acupuncturist and herbalist, traveled a bunch, and was a department chair at a small university. She taught chemistry and physics, too! It was fun! Then in the winter of 2019, she randomly decided to take a writing class. Since that fateful day, her plays have been performed in the UK, Washington state, and Minnesota. If the world ever gets back to normal, theaters in Connecticut, Texas, and British Columbia have selected and will be performing some of her pieces later this year.
