THE SPLINTER GROUP was founded in 2002 to produce works of singular vision for the stage and screen and produced the UK premier of Joe Calarco's critically acclaimed Shakespeare's R&J. The production, heralded by the Daily Telegraph as, "beautiful, sexy, wildly inventive," and the Evening Standard as, "absolutely brilliant… A knock-out!" transferred to London's West End before touring the UK. The company is currently producing Christine Jorgensen Reveals (Winner - 2006 Drama Desk Award; 2006 Hilton Edwards Award), a tour-de-force lip-synched recreation of the only recorded interview with America’s first famous transsexual. The production was a critical smash Off-Broadway, in Boston, at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and will be touring internationally in 2007.
In addition to its producing endeavors, The Splinter Group provides general management services to clients in New York. Current clients include Gutenberg The Musical by Scott Brown and Anthony King, The Intergalactic Nemesis by Ray Colgan, Jason Neulander, and Jessica Reisman, 33 to Nothing by Grant James Varjas, Candy & Dorothy by David Johnston and Masked By Ilan Hatsor. Previous management clients have included Ami Dayan’s The Man Himself, Duse’s Fever by Mica Bagnasco, the 2006 New York Music Theatre Festival, Confessions of a Mormon Boy by Steven Fales, Apparition by Anne Washburn, acclaimed British musical comedy trio Fascinating Aida's production of Absolutely Fascinating, The Riot Group in Pugilist Specialist by Adriano Shaplin and Ami Dayan's A Tale of a Tiger. The Splinter Group was the Festival Producer for the 2005 and 2006 Festival of New Musicals for the National Alliance of Musical Theatre.
