RICHARD BALLON

Richard Ballon published his first poem when he was fourteen and over the years has pruned a collection of poetry, plays, and monologues, which when poked at, may pinch back. In New York, his work has been performed at the Sola Voces / Estrogenius Festival, Women at Work Fest, MaMADrama, Left Out Festival, NativeAlien’s Short Stories, Emerging Artist Theater's One Man Standing and the Fresh Fruit Festival. Other work has been performed in Amherst, Boston, Chicago, Iowa City, Denver, Toronto, Kitchener, Calgary, Montreal as well as in London and Manchester, UK. His writing has been supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. He was also commissioned to write two plays for a high school’s GLBT Awareness week. Richard is a member of the Dramatist’s Guild. A collection of monologues, poems and plays was published in 2007 by Leveller’s Press, titled: enough of a little to know all.
