Aurand Harris (1916–1996) is one of this nation's most published and performed playwrights for children and youth. Harris had a deep concern for artists, particularly playwrights, who devoted their careers to creating quality theatre for young audiences, and for theatres who produce theatre for children. Through the generous donation of Aurand Harris’ author royalties, CTFA is able to support the work of American theatre artists.
