   “Dennis Reardon is a passionate and always interesting playwright.” Richard Nelson   “One of the leading playwrights who engendered the early years of the Joseph Papp Public Theater—a signal contribution to getting us on the national cultural map.” Bernard Gersten, Executive Producer, Lincoln Center Theater   “Reardon tackles some very pertinent and hair-raising issues with great flair and humor. I’m glad to see that he continues to write provocative plays.” Gordon Davidson, Artistic Director/Producer, Mark Taper ForumThis collection includes three full-length plays: STEEPLE JACK, THE PEER PANEL and THE MISADVENTURES OF CYNTHIA M.About STEEPLE JACK:   “Like a well-cut diamond with many shining facets, playwright Dennis J Reardon has given theater audiences a quality gem in STEEPLE JACK. Set in rural Kansas, STEEPLE JACK is about bare bones existence: life and death, youth and maturity, males and females, good and evil, the relationships that hold life together and the need for love in the face of grief…a richly textured work, peopled with equally textured characters and dialogue…the mystic Steeple Jack conveys a sympathetic  personality that is, despite his tramp-like appearance, otherworldly and eerily distant without seeming like something born of monster movies.” Kathleen Mills, The Bloomington Herald-TelephoneAbout THE PEER PANEL:   “Funny and incisive, THE PEER PANEL shapes a meditation on the future of the American theater into an absorbing, funny, and gracefully structured play…THE PEER PANEL evades its potential for caricature, thanks largely to Reardon’s uncanny command of each character’s voice… But THE PEER PANEL, while rooted in its characters’ preoccupations, isn’t just about theater. It’s also about the foundations of personal aesthetic preferences, about the ways in which culture  and ideology and prejudice influence what we like—and how differences in taste can obstruct interpersonal connections. Sort of like Yasmina Reza’s ART, only without the tedium.” Eric Pfeffinger, The Bloomington Herald-Times

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
