Plays
In addition to painting,
Kreutz is also a playwright. He has
written three full length plays that
are published by Samuel French—House
of Plays. They have been and continue
to be performed world wide, and one
of them Bottoms Up! has been translated
into (of all things) Dutch. Go to SameulFrench.com to
read more about these plays or to
purchase them.
In the summer of 2011, Samuel French published Gregg's latest play, 'Death by Golf'.
In addition, 'Floored' has been published in Smith & Kraus’ anthology,
“The Best 10 Minute Plays of 2006'.
On his playwritting
Gregg writes:
“I got into
playwriting almost by accident. I
was helping out at a community theater
in West Virginia—Brookhills
Playhouse—and because they
loved doing comedies particularily
farces, I decided it might be fun
to try and write a farce myself.
It turned out to be incredibly hard
and time consuming but I persevered
and after about eight months of intensely
examining issues like “if he’s
hiding under the bed in this scene
how is he going to get into the closet
by the next?” I finished it.
The theater liked it, put it on,
and later, Samuel French decided
to publish it. Both Bottoms Up! and Academia
Nuts (my second play) are now
produced around the country and in
other countries too and these days
I find it quite a thrill to learn
about a production and then sneak
off to go see it in person.”
