If you're at all interested in theater (or human nature) Stephen's words, verbal paintings, are for you. Theater at it's very best. Mind blowing and jaw dropping. Makes the rest of us jealous - "why can't I do that?". Keep your eye on him, fly to New York to check out his work (and that of the theater company he has been a long time member of - LAByrinth) if you can (or even if you can't). In a world where not much new is coming out, he shines a light of hope. Follow him there - he's is a worthy guide that can be trusted to the ends of the earth (or even to Purgatory - please check out, his most recent, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot - you won't regret it).

For those of you familiar with his work, the brilliance of Stephen Guirgis will not be news to you. For those who aren't , he is the most important new playright to emerge in a very long time. A truly unique voice.

Stephen Guirgis is the most important new playright to emerge in a very long time. A truly unique humane voice that speaks across all cultural and socio-economic barriers.
