Joe Swenson
It is hard to define Joe Swenson. Father of five boys, husband, actor, director, author, screenplay writer, playwright, and all-round creative person. His writing has been viewed all over the world. He has written a few award winning plays, which include Scraps (on NPX), Right as Rain (on NPX), and Justin Thyme (being adapted to a full-length play/screenplay). In addition, his short play, Eleven Days was featured in the PortFringe Theater Festival in 2019, and his slam poem hybrid was featured in the same festival in 2015. Eleven Days is being adapted to a feature length movie.
Joe also finished an autobiographical full-length play based on his abduction in 1979 that lasted until 1986. If you are on NPX you can find it here:
