Bob Bowersox Five Plays - Softcover

Bob Bowersox clearly remembers the first thing he ever wrote. "I was about nine," he said. "It was late afternoon and I was sitting on the hood of my father's Buick. I was a sensitive kid, and my mom had been gone all day, so I composed this elaborate poem to her, all in my head. I can't remember a word of it now, but I clearly remember its creation, right down to the heat coming off the car hood in the late afternoon sun." Bob hasn't stopped writing since. His journey with words has carried him through several collections of poetry, hundreds of songs (several of which ended up on two albums he recorded in his 20's), a couple of novels, a bunch of short stories, a career as a reporter and columnist for publishing giant Gannett, founding his own magazine and serving as its lead feature writer, a dozen movie scripts, and several stage plays. While Bob continues to work in each discipline, he's found the most success with his screenplays and stage plays. Several of his film scripts have been award-winners, including recognition in such prestigious competitions as the Nicholl Fellowships, the Austin Film Festival, the American Screenwriting Awards, both Project Greenlight competitions, the Benderspink Big Break competition, the Carl Sautter Competition, and the Marco Island Film Festival, among others. One script has been optioned. His last four stage plays have received professional World Premieres at the prestigious Red Barn Theatre in Key West, Florida, meeting with rave reviews from both audiences and critics. Bob received his BA in Journalism from the University of Delaware, graduated from Gotham Writer's in New York with a concentration in Screenwriting, and received his Professional Programs Masters in Screenwriting from UCLA. He currently resides and writes full time in Key West, FL.
