Rich Orloff
Rich’s 15 full-length plays (mostly comedies) have been presented around the country at such theaters as Arizona Theatre Company, Arkansas Repertory Theatre, Charlotte Rep, Dayton Playhouse, Florida Studio Theatre, New Jersey Rep, and also in Europe, Asia, South Africa and Australia.
Rich’s short plays have had over 800 productions on six of the seven continents (plus a staged reading on Antarctica) and have been published three times in the annual BEST TEN-MINUTE PLAYS anthology series and five times in the annual BEST AMERICAN SHORT PLAYS series. Playscripts (www.playscripts.com) has published 70 of his short plays in eight collections.
His plays at the WorkShop include productions of FOREIGN AFFAIRS and COUPLES, workshops of COME AGAIN, FUNNY AS A CRUTCH and RADIO RIDICULOUS, and readings of SKIN DEEP, TROPICAL HEAT, INCREDIBLE SEX, ENGAGEMENT RULES, PLAYING DOCTOR and HA! Most of these plays have since been produced, which is just one of several reasons he's grateful to be a member.
