Bob Teague, May Festival 2010 Bio

Bob Teague returned to New York Theater in September 2008 after two decades as a journalist, writer and performer in the hinterlands of the American Deep South and a bit of great fortune when he met a couple of hard-driving theater artists who wanted to control their own destinies. The tool they chose was to create Left Hip Productions. His second great fortune was to be invited to join them in their efforts. Since returning to New York, he's had three of his short plays -- "Two in the Chamber", "Nerve Damage" and "Going Over" -- performed. He has also had the opportunity to direct "Congoja", "The Amaranthine Thread" and "Nikita" by Rosebud Ben-Oni; "Odd Jobs" by Jennifer Marvel; "Four Dry Tongues" by Alex Dremann; "For Your Amusement" and "The Ubi" by Katharine Henner; "The Elephant. in the Room is Feeding the Ducks" by Kimberly Shelby-Szyszko; and "Count Down the Thunder" by John Bolan. He is beside himself over the opportunities Left Hip has given him at the 2010 Hip Festival to add three more directing credits and an acting gig to his bio. It is no surprise though. Left Hip exists to create opportunities. Contact him at bobteague@lefthipproductions.com.
