JEN RYAN has been trying to adapt the story of Leni Riefenstahl - in one form or another - for nearly ten years; and is proud to have succeeded with this play. She is a graduate of Rollins College (B.A., Theater - Directing) and is the author of about 100 sketches & one-acts, as well as a couple of screenplays.  This is her second full-length play and her first literary collaboration with Craig O'Connor (unless you count the infamous "How To Be Instantly Funny" sketch).  Jen has yet to win any Emmys, but she did spend two whole days in close proximity to Woody Allen, which made Craig terribly, terribly jealous.  Not to mention she was the Artistic Director & Head Writer of PUNCH 59 Sketch Comedy for nearly three years. Now that took work.

CRAIG O'CONNOR is an Emmy-Award winning editor who lives in Los Angeles.  He is a graduate of the University of Miami where he directed, wrote, and starred in the short film "MILD MANNERED MAN".  He has authored a number of screenplays and written sketches for the sketch comedy troupes PUNCH 59 and COMIC FETUS.  Director/Producer, "Comic Fetus and the Holy Snail" (LA).  This is his first collaboration with Jen Ryan, and it will not be their last. Craig has a great story about Burt Reynolds that we are unable to place here due to an ex-parte order.
