   About Eric Schwartz
NEWS: 1/ 29/2008 THE PLATONIC BOMB - a short romantic comedy directed by M Legend Brown (screenplay by me - Trailer below) is appearing on the big screen at The Texas Black Film Festival 2/6/2009 @ 6pm during the Happy Hour Shorts block *** My one act play "An Easy Heaven" is being published by Playscripts, INC. (Details to follow) **** Gag Reflex are planning a brand new show for spring. *****



I am a writer of varying success levels from the suburbs of Chicago and have been so for the last twenty years. I've written everything from freelance newspaper articles to screenplays, comedy sketches, songs, blogs, radio commercials, poetry, plays, fiction and the occasional roast monologue. I am hoping to soon conquer the greeting card market. I am also a member of and director of the sketch comedy group Gag Reflex Comedy Theater and the Executive Director of The Geneva Underground Playhouse in Geneva, IL (name soon to be released). I do act, direct and/or produce when called upon (yes, there is a blinking red phone in my den. Quick to the Eric Pole.... ewwww)

I am also tooling around the midwest with my new folk rock combo, THE SCHWARTZ BAND, this year. You will see show dates above.

Tired of me yet? Shit, I am.

Most importantly, I am a husband and father. My wife Millie and I live with our son, Danny and two cats - Buster & Venom. We live in a little green house on a little green street in Dekalb, IL with our eyes on California (hopefully 2009).

Check out a ton of my stuff below and on the left - articles, flash fiction, poetry, two webseries (The Farm and Big City), videos and lots of music. Plenty of stuff to make you sick of me.

If anybody is REALLY interested, you can find my resume online here: RESUME

smooches!

Thanks for your friendship & Support!

World’s greatest lawyer is ready to cross-examine you
Does watching Denny Crane get you in the mood? It does me, and I’m Denny Crane. Let’s get frisky together Saturday Night as we watch DVD highlights from the fourth season of my greatest legal cases and personal exploits. From there, the next step is love, and just as in my law career, I’ve never failed to satisfy. Denny Crane.
