Original plays by Dr. Jack Wann & Reggie Van Stockum

Combining lifelong passions for theatre, directing, playwriting, creative writing, storytelling, and music, Dr. Jack Wann and Ronald R. (Reggie) Van Stockum, Jr., have co-written more than ten plays, including two musicals (both of which have had stage premieres!), three multi-episode radio dramas (listen for free here), three one-act plays (Dawn of Dusk, Hedge Apple, and Side Step), and a full length drama with music (Pappa Dovey).

With fun musicals like Jubilee Barndance and Tower by the Thames, the Fiction-Science, Other-Worldly The Dawn of Dusk: Three One-Act Plays, and three multi-episode Radio Dramas (with three more Jules Verne adaptations in the works!), the Wann-Van Stockum duo has produced a prolific catalog of creative opportunities of various content and lengths.
