This collection contains three full-length plays by Stuart Spencer: SUDDEN DEVOTION, RESIDENT ALIEN and IN THE WESTERN GARDEN. Here is what the critics had to say: "It's not often you see a space alien in orange Converses and a Wisconsin K-mart employee expound upon Kirkegaard in the woods. RESIDENT ALIEN, a comedy by Stuart Spencer, is filled with such suprisingly funny scenes. RESIDENT ALIEN is hilarious...the dialogue is snappy with lots of local flavor, and the characters interact well with each other...this show is both heart-warming and delightful. The best part of this show is not the kooky humor, and it's not the Fargo-ish Wisconsin accents. What makes RESIDENT ALIEN so exceptional is that it manages to reveal a numAber of insights about intelligence, culture and a sense of belonging without being too obvious about it." Jenny Sandman, Louisville Eccentric Observer "RESIDENT ALIEN is a sweet and quirky comedy set in an anonymous small town in northeastern Wisconsin.... It's the characters that set RESIDENT ALIEN apart from television fodder. They are interesting, likeable and cut just enough against stereotype to be refreshingly funny.... Additional humor is found in small town insularity. Most of the characters, who are approaching middle age, are still playing out grudges and slights from their adolescent years." Damien Jones, Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee "...be sure someone pokes you awake for Stuart Spencer's IN THE WESTERN GARDEN, the evening's gem. It's 1989; a famous old abstract expressionist painter and his patient, sagacious wife are visited on their Hamptons farm by his longtime dealer, with a hot young conceptual artist in tow. The dealer, on the verge of bankruptcy owing to the crash in art prices, desperately needs product; the conceptual artist wants either to replace his boyhood hero or to subsume him into the anonymity his pomo installations express. The artist and his wife have secrets of their own to unveil. Packed into the play's short space are a neat, effective intrigue, a fierce debate about the nature of creativity, four vivid characters.... The wit or the nearly palpable passion behind Spencer's mordant contrivance." Michael Feingold, The Village Voice (reviewing the second act of the full-length play being performed on its own)

An accessible, contemporary guide to the art of dramatic writing During the ten years that Stuart Spencer has taught playwriting, he has struggled to find an effective playwriting handbook for his courses. Although most of the currently popular handbooks have good ideas in them, they all suffer from the same problems: they're poorly organized; are composed mostly of quirky, idiosyncratic advice on how specific playwrights have gone about writing their own work; and are full of abstract theorizing on the nature of art. As a result, they fail to offer any concrete information on how to construct a well-written play or any useful guidelines and exercises. Moreover, few of these books are actually written by working playwrights. Out of frustration, Spencer wrote his own book. The result, The Playwright's Guidebook, is a clear, concise, and engaging handbook. Spencer addresses the important principles of structure, includes insightful writing exercises that build upon one another, explores the creative process, and troubleshoots recurrent problems that playwrights actually face.

"Dennis Reardon is a passionate and always interesting playwright." Richard Nelson "One of the leading playwrights who engendered the early years of the Joseph Papp Public Theater--a signal contribution to getting us on the national cultural map." Bernard Gersten, Executive Producer, Lincoln Center Theater "Reardon tackles some very pertinent and hair-raising issues with great flair and humor. I'm glad to see that he continues to write provocative plays." Gordon Davidson, Artistic Director/Producer, Mark Taper Forum This collection includes three full-length plays: STEEPLE JACK, THE PEER PANEL and THE MISADVENTURES OF CYNTHIA M. About STEEPLE JACK: "Like a well-cut diamond with many shining facets, playwright Dennis J Reardon has given theater audiences a quality gem in STEEPLE JACK. Set in rural Kansas, STEEPLE JACK is about bare bones existence: life and death, youth and maturity, males and females, good and evil, the relationships that hold life together and the need for love in the face of grief...a richly textured work, peopled with equally textured characters and dialogue...the mystic Steeple Jack conveys a sympathetic personality that is, despite his tramp-like appearance, otherworldly and eerily distant without seeming like something born of monster movies." Kathleen Mills, The Bloomington Herald-Telephone About THE PEER PANEL: "Funny and incisive, THE PEER PANEL shapes a meditation on the future of the American theater into an absorbing, funny, and gracefully structured play...THE PEER PANEL evades its potential for caricature, thanks largely to Reardon's uncanny command of each character's voice... But THE PEER PANEL, while rooted in its characters' preoccupations, isn't just about theater. It's also about the foundations of personal aesthetic preferences, about the ways in which culture and ideology and prejudice influence what we like--and how differences in taste can obstruct interpersonal connections. Sort of like Yasmina Reza's ART, only without the tedium." Eric Pfeffinger, The Bloomington Herald-Times

Designed to help leaders shape organizational culture remotely, this must-have resource demonstrates how to conduct virtual onboarding for senior leaders, build top teams from a distance, manage accountability in the new virtual environment, and much more.
