| | Brief Biography Kyle Jarrow is an Obie Award-winning playwright and composer, as well as a member of the rock bands The Fabulous Entourage and Super Mirage. A fixture on the downtown scene, he’s known for combining rock and performance into a high-energy hybrid. His plays include A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant, Hostage Song, Armless (currently being made into a feature film), Love Kills and Gorilla Man among others. His new musical Whisper House, co-written with Duncan Sheik (Tony Award winner for Spring Awakening), opens at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego this winter. Kyle’s been called “NYC’s hipster playwright” by The New York Times. The Village Voice praised his "pop rock scores, irony so thick it's spoon edible, [and] unexpected tenderness." Paper Magazine called his band The Fabulous Entourage "Entrancing... it's as if the Scissor Sisters and Hedwig got together to cover old Meat Loaf songs. In other words, it's absolutely fabulous.” | | | Programs, venues, instructors/moderators are subject to change or cancellation without notice |
