Ana Elena Puga specializes in contemporary Latin American theatre. Besides literature and criticism, her interests include dramaturgy, translation, and performance. She has published an anthology of translations of plays by Chilean writer Juan Radrigán, Finished from the Start and Other Plays, with Northwestern University Press. Her study of five South American playwrights who tried to resist dictatorship, Allegory, Memory, and Testimony: Upstaging Dictatorship will be published by Routledge in 2008. Before earning her DFA, Puga worked as a journalist for ten years, including three years in Latin America. Together with several theatrical collaborators, Puga founded LaMicro Theater, which is dedicated to producing Latin American and US Latino plays.
