Bob W.'s Story
I've written for The New Jersey Star Ledger, the Spectator magazine (Raleigh, North Carolina), The New York Blade and The Washington Blade. More recently, I have written theatre reviews and a sporadic column, "Bitten by a Zebra" for the New York Resident.
Honors and awards include being named a winner of the International Association of Business Communicators Call for Research Papers, the Jim Henson Award for Projects Related to Puppetry, an artistic achievement citation from the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival and New York Press's "Best Straight-Faced Cover Story Interview with Joan Rivers" (2003 Best of New York City issue).
I've written plays that have been produced in nine states (maybe more). One of my musicals (co-author/book & lyrics), Oedipus! A New Musical Comedy, is published by Baker's Plays. I also wrote the dialogue to an opera based on the O.J. Simpson trial with composer Anthony Newman.
I've had "work...Expand for more
encounters" with Martin Short, Judy Shepard, Starr Jones, Chita Rivera, Michael Mayer, Mikhail Barishnakov, Paul Taylor, F. Murray Abraham, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, Faye Dunaway, Rob Marshall, Madam Chiang Kai-shek (posthumous), Chubby Checker (who gave me beef jerky) and Jessye Norman (who tried to sell me Girl Scout cookies).
In addition to all of the above, I taught playwriting for the Honors Program at the University of Maryland, have been the official photographer for the National Whistler¿s Convention, was an improvisational comedy performer and was the artistic director of a children's theatre.
More recently, I worked for a church in Manhattan for six years as their communications guru and currently work for an American university in the Middle East.
