About the author

MARK NUTTER grew up in a motel near Joliet, Illinois, which is not as glamorous as it sounds. He acquired a taste for absurd comedy in the womb. Mark is the author of Dancer on the Ceiling, Giant Banana Over Texas, and Sunset Cruise on the River Styx: Dark, Absurd Tales. He's the winner of both the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award and the LA Weekly Theater Award for the music and lyrics for ReAnimator: The Musical. Mark wrote the music, lyrics and book for The Bicycle Men, named Outstanding Overall Production at the New York International Fringe Festival. With Cynthia Carle he created Christmas Smackdown. (www.christmassmackdown.com). Mark has also written for television ('SNL,' '3rd Rock from the Sun') and film ('Almost Heroes' starring the late Chris Farley).
"If you took Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Robert Benchley, and James Thurber, cut them up, picked their parts out of a wet hat and put a person together, that person would be Mark Nutter, only shorter. His Sunset Cruise on the River Styx is a hilarious view into the void, where only the bravest, maddest comics go. Helpless with laughter is the only way this all ends... " Dennis Paoli, screenwriter. Re-Animator, From Beyond.
