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
