Welcome to johnkaufmann.org. If you are interested in my theatre work, this is a place to read about shows I've written, directed, or performed in. You could even hire me based on how great this site makes me seem.

This site is not a substitute for human contact or interaction. I hope that visiting this site leads to a desire to write to me, to talk to me in person, to work with me on a project, or to hire me for work.
Check out the New Show Snippets where I've added short Quicktime movies of some recent projects.
This site now includes sections on Antony and Cleopatra and Line One, which returned to Annex Theatre in the Fall of 2006. I am currently working on The Line One Manual, so theatre companies around the world can present this great show.
From Rabbit Ears (a show developed directly from transcribed random channel surfing) through linger, Starball, Line One and Antony and Cleopatra, I have been exploring an aesthetic I'll call "Limited Radius Theater." It's helped me to take the lessons I was learning from my experiments, and turn them into guiding principals to shape future work. LRT was a way to keep from re-inventing my wheel, to help me articulate the ideas, and to keep me honest. I have included an overview of LRT on the "Shows" page.
