David N. Stein

Rebecca And... - 2010

David Stein grew up in St. Louis. After surviving three different high schools, he attended the University of Missouri in Columbia, earning a bachelor’s degree in journalism. He then moved to New York, where he learned that the real world of publishing had none of the glamour of its cinematic incarnations. He moved back to St. Louis. His play, After Midnight, was a finalist in the Playwrights’ Center of San Francisco’s 2002 Dramarama playwriting competition.

It lost and hasn’t been heard from since. This staging of Rebecca and… is his first production and he is very grateful to First Run Theatre for this opportunity. Someday he hopes to be a guest programmer on Turner Classic Movies, where he will have an evening of films by his favorite underrated director, Mitchell Leisen.
