STEVE KARP is a New York-based playwright. His diversification of experience as an actor, director, filmmaker, and founding/producing director of the Stamford Theatre Works has helped to feed his ambition to explore subjects of personal dramatic interest with enthusiasm, determination, and professional dedication.

Ten years into an acting career that included Broadway (The Changing Room: NY Drama Critics Award, Herzl), Lincoln Center (Shakespeare’s Richard III, A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Off-Broadway (The Public Theatre, The Light Opera of Manhattan), and Regional Theater (Long Wharf, The American Shakespeare Theatre), a desire to make his own dramatic statements emerged. He formed an independent production company to produce three short films – THE TENNIS LESSON, THE JOGGER, and THE TENNIS MATCH – which he wrote and directed, and which achieved significant international commercial success and film festival honors through their world-wide distribution by Columbia Pictures.

Returning to the theater as Founder/Producing Director of the Stamford Theatre Works (Stamford, Connecticut), Karp produced nearly 100 Equity productions, including an annual Black History Month production, an annual Great American Composer Series, The Purple Cow Children’s Theatre, and a year-round School for the Performing Arts.

Karp directed nearly half of Stamford Theatre Works’ full productions, and in 1992, was honored with the Connecticut Critics Circle’s award for “Most Outstanding Director of a Play” for his direction of A FEW GOOD MEN at the Westport Country Playhouse.

In 1997, Karp was honored again by the Connecticut Critics Circle with its highest award for “Outstanding Contribution to Connecticut Theatre.”

As playwright, Karp’s writing includes an eclectic combination of plays that are full-length and short, contemporary and period, dramatic and comedic. They include, WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, THE TOOLS OF IGNORANCE, FRATERNITY, THE FAMILY STEERING COMMITTEE, THE WAREHOUSE, IN RE: RADDING v GLAZER, RUBBAS, and THERE’S A TRAFFIC JAM IN THE LADIES ROOM.

At this point in his creative journey, it is his playwriting that provides Karp with the most satisfying challenge to his continuing passion for expression, and his enduring love affair with the creative process.  

STEVE KARP is a member of the Dramatist Guild of America (DGA), the Society for Directors & Choreographers (SDC), Actors Equity Association (AEA), and SAG-AFTRA. He is a graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Tufts University, and the Loomis Chaffee School
