What do you get when you cross a grown up with a love for comedy with someone who wouldn't quit their night job? Why, Steve Rosen of course! This long-time writer and actor spills the beans on what it was like bringing Dracula A Comedy of Terrors to life (no pun intended), why he's haunted by children, and why he can't stand horror movies.

Steve is the Co-Author of the show and has previously collaborated with Gordon Greenberg on The Secret of My Success (co-book, Jefferson Award nomination), the plays Crime and Punishment - a Comedy, Ebenezer Scrooge’s BIG San Diego Christmas Show (both at The Old Globe, San Diego) and podcasts “Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors” and “Rolling Calls” (Broadway Podcast Network). He has also co-written/composed (with David Rossmer) the musicals The Other Josh Cohen (Westside Theatre) and Griswolds’ Broadway Vacation (Seattle’s 5th Ave). With Dan Lipton, Rossmer and Sarah Saltzberg he also co-created the improv-variety show Don’t Quit Your Night Job. For his work Off-Broadway he’s been nominated for (and lost) five Drama Desks and two Lucille Lortel awards. Education: NYU/Tisch. Associate artist: The Civilians. He is also an actor. @stevierosen
