David Rimmer wrote Album, which ran for a year Off-Broadway at the Cherry Lane, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and is still being performed all over the country and reprinted in many scene and monolgue collections. Other plays include Yankee Wives, Nobody Dies, The Reunion Guy (full-length), Miss Subways Meets the Sex Machine, Greatest Show on Earth, The Evening News (one-acts), and his most recent, New York, written as a benefit for a 9/11-related charity.

Favorite Quote: "I can't look at everything hard enough...so all that was going on and we never noticed." Thornton Wilder.

Authors I teach: I use my own work (I'm a playwright) in ENG101 (theme of 9/11/01, a play on that subject) and as examples in the playwriting workshops I teach outside of LaG. I would like to teach other writers such as Washingtom Irving, Thornton Wilder, Chekhov.
