George Sapio

I've been writing plays and working in theatre for over thirty years. I've produced dozens of shows, co-founded and served as the artistic director of the Ithaca Fringe Festival (2014-2017). Over the years I've acted, directed, designed lights and sets, and served as a dramaturg. I believe in learning everything there is to know about theatre.

I've been writing plays and working in theatre for over thirty years. I've produced dozens of shows, co-founded and served as the artistic director of the Ithaca Fringe Festival (2014-2017). Over the years I've acted, directed, designed lights and sets, and served as a dramaturg. I believe in learning everything there is to know about theatre.

I was a MacDowell fellow in 2023.

In response to playwright colleagues asking me about my development experiences, I wrote the how-to book "Workshopping the New Play: A Guide for Playwrights, Directors, and Dramaturgs" (Globe Pequot Books). For the past eleven years I have produced and hosted the monthly podcast “Onstage/Offstage,” featuring interviews with theatre professionals from around the world and live readings of new short plays.

Several of my plays have won awards: “Ghosts” (2001 Mildred and Albert Panowski Playwriting Award); .”Oatmeal and a Cigarette” (2008 Critics' Pick Cincinnati Fringe Festival; published by Broadway Play Publishing). Several of my shorter plays have appeared in “Best of” anthologies.

I write nearly every day. Some of it's even worth keeping. And before you ask: **All works created without the use of AI technology. Organic (legitimate) human creativity, for what it's worth.**

They flew in all kinds of weather: rain, snow, sub-zero freezes, with no radar, lights, or parachutes. They flew over 300 sorties, often with ten or more missions per squad every night, dropping bombs on the Nazi front lines. The regiment was staffed entirely of women, including all support staff. They were one of the most highly decorated elite regiments in Soviet history. They flew biplanes. They dealt with misogyny and hardship. And they had the Nazis terrified of them.

    From his 18th birthday to his death at (what was believed to be) Market Bosworth, Kynges Games looks at the political forces that shaped and directed his life. Said by some to be a smart and dedicated king, by others a ruthless child murderer, Richard remains a controversial figure. Great opportunity for inventive casting, doubling, and sportscasted battle scenes!
