Featuring:
Captain Incredible Versus The Girlfriend by Sarah Bowden
Faster than an encroaching deadline, more powerful than the lure of the American Dream, and able to plow through tall stacks of comics in a single sitting: Sarah Bowden emerged from Smallville, Illinois a mild-mannered Midwestern playwright by day and a tomboy with a vengeance by night. Sarah sidekicked it for two years on behalf of Philadelphia’s To The Wall Productions, where she served as an artistic associate. She co-wrote Grimm & Tonic: An Evening of Adapted Fairy Tales for To The Wall, and had her short play Through the Valley performed as part of the Philadelphia Dramatists Center’s 4×4 Festival. Her full-length Two Sides of a River was given a staged reading at the Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia, and this March, her full-length Lively Stones will receive a reading at Pittsburgh Irish Classic Theatre. She has completed internships with Chicago Dramatists, the Arden Theatre, the Wilma Theatre, the Northlight Theatre, the O’Neill Center and the Adirondack Theatre Festival. Sarah was the recipient of the 2003 Margaret W. Baker Prize for Fiction and the 2005 White-Howells English Prize for Drama, both of which currently hang in her Fortress of Solitude.

Matt earned a Bachelors’ of Theatre Arts at Southern Utah University.
Gunpowder Arizona by Nick Philpott
Nick Philpott was knitted into existence at age 12 by a loving family who brought him up to be a relatively normal adult, for someone made of fabric. He attended Ohio University and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Playwriting, and has since then gone Kerouac and moved to Hollywood to try and make it big. His plays have been produced at Ohio University and the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. This is his first international production, which is pretty rad.
Two of Everything by D.J. Sylvis
Where do D.J. Sylvis‘s ideas come from? D.J. is inspired by monkeys, robots, cats, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Bigfoot, that theme song from The Greatest American Hero, Arthur Kopit, 80s-era Justice League comics, various dystopias from his childhood(including Bible School), Lego spacemen, Alfred Hitchcock Presents(just the hosting segments), potato chips, Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, yellowed sci-fi paperbacks, friends, enemies, strangers in the night… and all things strange and wonderful in this world. And you. Yes, you right there. Don’t even think about asking for royalties.
