Conrad Bishop & Elizabeth Fuller share 52 years as mates and professional theatre-makers, playing well over 3,000 shows throughout the USA in theatres, schools, community centers, prisons, churches, living rooms, in a rock concert between Chuck Berry and Little Richard, and among the women’s lingerie of a department store.  Their 60+ plays have been produced Off-Broadway and on major regional stages as well as by their own ensemble The Independent Eye, and they have collaborated with many other theatres in creating original work.  They are twice recipients of writing fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and have produced several series for public radio.  They are now focused on writing prose fiction as well as a 15-month project staging Shakespeare’s KING LEAR as a duo house-concert show with puppets. Their memoir “Co-Creation: Fifty Years in the Making” is available from their website.

He has had 2 short stories (“Rubber Cement” and “The Problem with Odam Schweda”) appear in 2 issues of the Squawk Back Literary journal, so his publishing resume is pretty thin at this point. He has had a little difficulty so far finding places to take his work but so did Kurt Vonnegut and he turned out OK.
