Margaret Virginia Jones Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Margo Jones (December 12, 1911 – July 24, 1955) was an influential American stage director and producer best known for launching the American regional theater movement and for introducing the theater-in-the-round concept in Dallas, Texas. In 1947, she established the first regional professional company when she opened Theatre ’47 in Dallas. Of the 85 plays Jones staged during her Dallas career, 57 were new, and one-third of those new plays had a continued life on stage, television and radio.
She was a pioneer of the theater-in-the-round concept of design, with which she first experimented in 1947. It dispenses with a curtain and with backdrops, uses a minimum of scenery, moves the stage closer to the audience, and sits the audience on three sides of the stage. This was the style of staging used for the original stage production of "Man of La Mancha".
