Bio
As a playwright, Bob Jude Ferrante is a total nutjob. For example, in The New Life, recently commissioned and workshopped by Praxis Theatre Project NYC, genetically engineered mythical centaurs and gryphons bar a famous newscaster's clone from world takeover. What? Exactly. Bob's evening Twinges (21 nasty, brutish, and short plays) played NYC Fall 2002 and garnered kudos from the NY press. His short Scene Analysis was finalist for Actor's Theatre of Louisville's Heideman award and along with his short Men's has been produced in festivals everywhere from Seattle to London. His full-length comedies Tragedy and subCity had recent New York runs and his dark comedy Hemlock, a Greek Diner Tragedy premiered in Dallas to critical raves. Bob's work is regularly published in Smith and Kraus' Best Stage Scenes and Best Monologues series.
With 13 years experience producing his own and others' work in NYC, Bob
naturally serves as Managing Director of Sanctuary:
Playwrights Theatre, a NYC-based coalition of
playwright/producers. Sanctuary: recently produced the very successful Six
Nights site-specific series.
