Bill Arnold enjoys writing about himself almost as much as he enjoys oral surgery, so he will keep this brief: Bill was trained as an actor, but due to his habit of making up his lines when he'd forget the real ones, was told that he should write his own material. "ABC: A Bureaucratic Comedy" was his first play and since then, he has written two full-length musicals: "Lint! The Musical" (with Scott Auden) and "Night of the Musical Dead" (both produced at the Hole in the Wall Theater, New Britain, CT.) In his spare time, Arnold edits Shakespeare's plays such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Richard III" (also published with JAC), due to his belief that "brevity is the soul of wit" as well as "I know more than that Shakespeare dude". "Attack of the Space Nymphos from Uranus" is Bill's most recent play, which premiered in January, 2013. Bill Arnold is the lead guitarist for the band The Rude Mechanicals, whose Irish-themed song, "As God Is My Witness (I'll Never Drink Again)" has seen brisk sales on iTunes every year around St. Patrick's Day

ABC: (A Bureaucratic Comedy)

ABC: (A Bureaucratic Comedy)
Deep in the bowels of a nondescript government office, three bureaucrats from The Department of Great Thinkers Thinking Great Thoughts run our country. Every thought comes directly from these near geniuses. The problem is, of course, that these are bureaucrats and they don't ever produce anything - including thoughts! The lowly night janitor discovers their lair and hilarity ensues. A timely commentary on government in action, or inaction, as the case might be. We think.

Attack of the Space Nymphos From Uranus

Attack of the Space Nymphos From Uranus
The word 'Uranus' will always be funny, but when you slap the words 'Attack of the Space Nymphos from&' before it and you get comedy gold. Travel deep, deep, deep into... space with Arnold's spoof of 1950s science fiction flicks.
