At 23, RICHARD TANNER was one of the youngest contributers to Esquire Magazine. Subesquent articles appeared in Vogue, the village voice, the New York Daily News...

and then he moved to Los Angeles, where he wrote for a game show and a cable talk show. Figures.
His play, Mysteries of the Rainforest, was workshopped at firstStage and the Arcade, under the auspices of Michael Patrick King, and he's completed the requisite number of unproduced screenplays, as per California Civil Code, section 38-41.... For the past 7 years, he has been a member of the storytelling collective, Story Salon and can be heard on their CD, "The Mario Sessions." He also is the founder of "The Drama Club," offering free readings of plays, screenplays and short stories for the salon-deprived. As an actor and standup, he's appeared at the Pasadena Playhouse, the Hudson and the Cast, at the Comedy Store, the Ice House and the Improv, in a handful of films, a bushelful of t.v. shows, the odd commercial, a video game, and just once, an Army training film. For details, buy him a drink.
