Max Reuben is a Philadelphia-born, Brooklyn-based playwright, director, and teacher who loves big-hearted, humanistic theater that attempts to reduce the amount of existential despair and loneliness in the universe. He’s written, directed, and devised work in a diversity of venues from Ars Nova to the Museum of Modern Art to a very hip apartment in Williamsburg. He’s a proud graduate of Playwrights Horizons Theater School, an undergraduate studio at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he now teaches first-year playwriting. In the summers, he teaches playwriting and devises new plays with the Powerhouse Theater Training Program at Vassar College.
About the Play
| A receptionist at a dentist’s office has to answer to her angry boss when a large, carnivorous dinosaur shows up in the waiting room for his appointment and refuses to leave. Torn between the muffled, angry voice through her intercom and the unintelligible dinosaur sounds from the potential patient, she must decide who the real monster in this situation really is. |
