As a dramatist, John Reilly has written, directed, edited and produced plays for live theater, radio and television in New York, Boston, Washington. D.C. and San Diego, and he has taught playwriting and dramatic literature at a myriad of universities on the East and West Coasts.
His specialty is American characters, experiences, and issues relating to perennial dilemmas of gender, class, race, creed, color, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, democracy, truth, justice, liberty, rights, tolerance, morality, courage, faith, conscience, selfishness, greed, corruption, hypocrisy and violence. His plays are crafted to reveal normally unspoken, tabooed American thoughts and feelings on significant and provocative topics, ranging from intimate relationships to political intrigues.
