Wendy Wasserstein was the recipient of "The William Inge Award for Distinguished Achievement in the American Theatre" during a special program of tribute on the stage of the William Inge Theatre on Saturday, April 17, 1993.
But Wasserstein, 39 and a bachelor girl herself, hasn't forgotten that urge to be ''normal.''
