Join us for a Friends & Family reading of Boneheads a full-length play by Steven Somkin, a playwright member of the play development group Plays In Progress (PIP). It’s a great opportunity to see a play in its beginning stages and offer some suggestions and comments to the playwright.

When The Origin of Species was published in 1859, paleontology became the subject of international excitement. Edward Cope, a certifiable genius, and O.C. Marsh, a rigorous systematist and master politician, were world class egomaniacs and fierce rivals in the race to name the most dinosaurs; but the field belonged to the consummate naturalist Joseph Leidy! Boneheads is the drama of their squabbles, their clashes, and the rise of American Science.

Since leaving the practice of medicine, Steven Somkin has written19 full-length and eight one-act plays; all have had readings, workshop productions, or off-off-Broadway productions. His work has been published in "100 Monologues from New Dramatists" and in "The Ultimate Audition Book and several of his playes have won awards, Somkin is a member of the Dramatists Guild and an alumnus of the New Dramatists.
