Chris Weikel , a 2008-09 Dramatist Guild Fellow, is the 2007 recipient of the Robert Chesley Award for emerging gay playwrights. He is a founding member of TOSOS II and was a member of Emerging Artists Theatre Company (EAT) from 1999 to 2005. TOSOS recently produced an evening of one-acts called WeikelWorks, as well as Weikel's SPEAKING PARTS, GARETH AND LYNETTE, and PENNY PENNIWORTH ("must see" show - 2003 FringeNYC Festival). EAT workshopped his THE WAY-WEARY (Kennedy Center Finalist, Playwright's First Semifinalist) and produced the premieres of his LOST BOYS, DANSPORT, GARETH AND LYNETTE and FAITHFULLY PRESENTED. PENNY PENNIWORTH and GARETH & LYNETTE were presented under the title TALES TOLDS by MadLabs Theater in Columbus, Ohio. In New York, D-Stages premiered Chris's SPEAKING PARTS and APPOINTED LIMITS in the Off-Center festival. Weikel's play DANSPORT was featured in the Samuel French Festival of New American Plays in 2002. His CHANGING OF THE GUARD was a semifinalist in the Mill Mountain New Play Competition, and he was commissioned by American Stage Company (St. Petersburg, FL) to write an adaptation of Dylan Thomas's A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES for the company's 2000 season. His plays PENNY PENNIWORTH, GARETH & LYNETTE and DANSPORT have been published by United Stages, and he has just completed work on a new musical with composer Bill Solly entitled SMILE AND SAY HELLO. Chris's PIG TALE is the 2008 recipient of the Irv Zarkower Award.

Synopsis: | TOSOS II presents an evening of three plays by Chris Weikel.

Family Vote exposes a domestic drama with political implications (or perhaps a political drama with domestic implications). Making it up as We Go Along: Two Lives Improvised in One Act introduces a unique brother and sister team that can fabricate their way out of anything except each other's affections." | |||||
