MARK NUTTER grew up in a motel near Joliet, Illinois, which is not as

glamorous as it sounds. He acquired a taste for absurd comedy while in the

womb. Mark is the author of three short fiction collections (Dancer on the

Ceiling, Giant Banana Over Texas, and Sunset Cruise on the River Styx).

He’s also written for the stage (Re-Animator the Musical, The Bicycle Men,

Christmas Smackdown), television (SNL, 3rd Rock from the Sun), and film

(Almost Heroes).
