Kurt "Vile" Schneiderman
(Director/Playwright/Lighting Designer)
Subversive Theatre's Founder & Artistic Director,
Kurt is thrilled and terrified to at long last be bringing to life his most
ambitious of theatrical creations.
This is the fourth of Kurt's original plays that
Subversive Theatre has produced -- the others being MANIFEST DESTINY
BLUES in 2003, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO SHOOT THE CZAR
in 2004 and MOTHER DIS-COURAGE in 2005.
Kurt sends all his love to Jenny the Magnificent
without whom all of this would be worthless.
