Larry Rinkel

Larry Rinkel came to playwriting after teaching college English and then working as a technical writer, a career from which he retired in 2014. A lifelong devotee of art, theatre, film, and classical music, he has had plays produced all over the United States.

His full-length "A Kreutzer Sonata," about a talented Jewish piano student, was awarded Best Play at the Secret Theatre’s 2017 UNFringed Festival and received its Long Island premiere in December 2019. Other produced plays include adaptations from Chaucer and Dante, a farce about gender-blind casting in Shakespeare, several (mostly gay) romantic comedies, and several 1-minute plays including a very cute one about Chopin’s Minute Waltz.
