Steven G. Martin (Playwright) is thrilled that The Subtle, Sublime Transformation of Benny V. is receiving its premiere in Chicago with A Short Leap Theatre Company. He has enjoyed exploring its nuances with the company, led by the terrific Darren Brown.

Steven’s plays often focus on the precise moment his characters’ lives and statuses change and how they grow (or diminish) after that point. His work has been produced in the Short+Sweet Festival in Dubai, the Gi60 festivals in New York, Houston, and Leeds, U.K., as well as at other theaters around the U.S. His plays can be found on New Play Exchange.

Many thanks to Josh, Nathan, DC, and the Short Leap family for recognizing the story of Benny V. and wanting to bring it to the stage. Thank you to the actors, designers, and crew who bring Benny V. to life every night with precision, grace, and humanity.
