| "State of the Art" "delightfully clever" "dazzling" "side splitting" 3 characters in a writer's mind and black boxes... "used as needed" |
| "A View Unassisted" "intriguing and misleading... what she's after is more precious than gold" "What do I have to do to get a...?" |
| "Absolutes" "wit is dry and deft" an apolitical comedy for a "corporate couple" |
| "The Sort of Happy Ending to The Sad Tale of Mr. Ali Ali, Or: The Lighter Side of Outsourcing Torture" "Black humor, political rhetoric... the life blood of this pungent romp" "sublimely ridiculous... deliciously malicious" |
| "Over Coffee" 2 women, 1 man, and no coffee... what "spiritual retreat!?" |
| Craig's Bio Coming up: Two new plays: "That Day" and "Choices, Choices!" in the New Perspectives Festival, San Diego, CA, and "A View Unassisted" in the New Works Play Festival, Royal Oak, MI. Recent productions include"Mr Ali Ali" Noor Middle-Eastern Play Festival, Wings Theatre (NYC), "View" in EndTimes Productions "Vignettes for the Apocalypse 2" (NYC), "State of the Art" at the Intentional Theatre (Waterford,CT) and "Mr Ali Ali" by Subversive Theater Collective (Buffalo,NY), and readings of "That Day" at Theatre Limina (Minneapolis,MN) and Ohio State U's New Works Lab. Craig returned to the Fritz Blitz of New California Playwrights with "A View Unassisted" (also selected for Studio Rep's "Insert Title Here: Part Deux!" new play festival). The timely "Mr Ali Ali" was produced at San Diego's Sixth at Penn Theatre and "Cruz the East Festival" at Santa Cruz's Actors Theatre, and received a staged reading at USD's Joan Kroc Inst for Peace and Justice. “State of the Art” (6th @ Penn) was a critical and audience favorite, and "Absolutes" was also a Blitz hit and selected for "OKtoberfest '04" (NYC). Craig studied Dramatic Art at the University of California, Berkeley; worked backstage at venues including the New York Shakespeare Festival, San Francisco Opera, and Los Angeles Civic Light Opera, and acted on the stages of the Melrose Theatre and American Theatre Arts in L.A. Craig is member of the Dramatists Guild of America, Inc. |
