People who want to kill people may not be the craziest people in the world.
They may be sitting at a nearby desk, living next door or looking back at you in the mirror"

A LITTLE TALK WITH DIRECTOR/ACTOR BRIAN SHNIPPER
"The first time I worked with Keith Reddin was in 1997. I was in a production of "Brutality of Fact" for 12 Miles West Theatre Company.
12MW had a New Jersey Playwrights Festival (Keith was an Asbury Park, New Jersey resident for years before he moved back to
Manhattan) and I appeared in the American premiere of "Haiti" and produced "You Belonged to Me". In 1999 I directed "All the Rage"
for 12MW. Then produced a stage reading of Keith's "Synergy" in 2001. I returned to "All the Rage" when I moved to Los Angeles
where I directed a reading of it for Circle X Theatre Company in 2005. Jerry Kernion was in the reading and when he became Artistic
Director for The Attic and asked me to direct West Coast Premiere at THE ATTIC THEATRE!!!"
