a Play in NYC

John McDermott Jr


John M. McDermott Jr. graduated from SUNY New Paltz in 1985 where he majored in Journalism and minored in Theater. In 2003, inspired by 9-11 and the death of his father, John began to write Five Boroughs, a musical.  Two years later, John directed and produced Five Boroughs as it showcased at The SoHo Playhouse in NYC. The show was performed at two other NYC venues between 2006 and 2007.


John has completed writing A Sagacious Hunch,a comedy. The story recently had its first preliminary public reading at "Play With a Play", a workshop sponsored by The Boz and the Bard Theater Company. "A very colorful world"....."charming and engaging"....and " despite its comedic elements, the story also has real heart to it" were among the comments anonymously given by the audience.


A SAGACIOUS HUNCH has been selected to the 2008 NYC International Fringe Festival and will be presented beginning August 8th.
