Chicago-born playwright
Craig Sodaro began writing plays in grade school and continued creating unusual dramatic pieces (
The Dismembered Pencil) in high school. While attending Marquette University in Milwaukee, he studied playwriting and had several shows produced by the university theater company. With a degree in journalism and English, Sodaro began a teaching career that would last thirty-three years. During that time he continued to write plays, often for schools or theatrical groups with which he worked. This led to his first published play,
Forlorn at the Fort in
Plays magazine, a melodrama written for the Wyoming-based Frontier Outlaw Troupe which he directed for thirteen years. In 1976 he sold his first full-length play,
Tea and Arsenic, and since that time he has had over one hundred plays published by various play publishers throughout the country. His play
Hush, Little Baby was performed in New York and Los Angeles, and his works have been produced around the world. Sodaro now writes full-time and lives high in the Colorado Rockies with his wife Sue.
