Theater Project member playwright Joseph Vitale has received a New Jersey State Council on the Arts fellowship. In recognition, TTP will rebroadcast our Zoom production of his play, Dragons in the Crease. The show premiered at New York Theater Festivals Summerfest 2019.Based on a real event, the play concerns a college student with a severe stutter who has been asked by his professor not to speak in class but instead write his questions down. Because of the media coverage that ensues, the incident becomes a national news story, changing both their lives forever. Dragons in the Crease was one of ten finalists in the 2020-21 Woodward / Newman Drama Competition, an exclusive honor offered by Bloomington Playwrights Project, remembering the many great dramas Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman performed together. The cast includes Alex Leondedis, Dara Lewis, Jack Coggins, Terri Sturtevant, Gary Glor, Bryan Rodriguez, Andre DeSandies, Deb Maclean and Sabrina Alamo. It is directed by Theater Project artistic director Mark Spina. Playwright Joseph Vitale, is a member of The Theater Projects playwrights workshop and a semi-finalist for the 2012 Eugene ONeill Theater/National Playwrights Conference. He is the author of a dozen full-length plays, including, Murrow, a one-man show about the life of Edward R. Murrow (called a dramatic masterpiece by the Huffington Post), which premiered at The Theater Project and was later performed Off-Off Broadway in 2016 at The Phoenix Theatre Ensemble. His one-act, The Monster Under the Bed, was voted Best Play at both the 2018 St. Paul (IN) Theater Festival and the 2019 One-Act Jamboree at the Rhino Theater, Pompton Lakes, NJ. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild of America.
