I know rogues are supposed to be all sneaky slash steal hide but mine are always lead the charge, attack directly with literally anything. Like... a stool... Or the bard.

Rock And Roll, With Richard Schotter

Hey there, cats and kittens.  Little Richard Schotter's gunna show you a good time, this Saturday night at Oh, Bernice! where he'll be slingin' cool jive and hot drama.  So ditch those blues for blue jeans, and put the bees' knees in the cats' pajamas, cause mama's in the kitchen with Groucho Marx, and we know he ain't there for the Chili Con Carne. 

You can't read Schotter's work online—he's just that good—but you can read the bio of this accomplished thespian.  (Get your mind out of the gutter, I said 'thespian.') 

Richard Schotter is the author of the plays Medicine Show, Benya the King, The Wood Dancer, Taking Stock and his latest, The Sussman Variations, which will be produced this coming Fall at the Boston Playwrights’ Theatre. He has been an “Obie” Award nominee and received a CAPS grant and the National Foundation for Jewish Culture’s Berman Playwriting Award (for Benya the King).

 In addition to his full-length plays, Mr. Schotter has written the ten-minute plays, The Duke, The Spot, The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, The River, and There’s an App for That! which have been performed at the Boston Theatre Marathon.  His short musical, Duet for Shy People (Music by Michael Kosarin), has been widely performed, most recently at the Williamstown Theatre Festival (Summer, 2008). Mr. Schotter has written lyrics for the PBS children’s series The Puzzle Place and co-authored with his wife, Roni, the children’s book, There’s a Dragon About:  A Winter’s Revel.

Richard Schotter holds a PhD in Dramatic Literature from Columbia University. He is Professor of English at Queens College, CUNY, where the directs the MFA Playwriting Program and is also Visiting Professor of Playwriting in Graduate Creative Writing Program at Boston University.
