THE SPLINTER GROUP was founded in 2002 to produce works of singular vision for the stage and screen. In the Spring of 2003, The Splinter Group 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 for a ten-week engagement before touring the UK. In 2006 The Splinter Group received a Drama Desk Award for producing Christine Jorgensen Reveals, the 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 and at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and has toured to Dublin and Boston.
The Splinter Group’s third producing endeavor, Masked, opened in the summer of 2007 to immediate critical acclaim. The play’s controversial subject matter, penned by Israeli playwright, Ilan Hatsor, brought the eroding relationship of three Palestinian brothers to the stage for a lengthy, six month run. The New York Times called Masked, "Powerful! A Sensation! Remarkably of the Moment." The New Yorker hailed it as "An articulate calculus of loyalty and betrayal." And New York Magazine claimed, "It's our good luck that this play reaches New York just as the world is catching up to it."
In addition to its producing endeavors, The Splinter Group provides general management, executive producing and event production services. Current clients include Fan Yang’s Gazillion Bubble Show (New York & Worldwide), Don Reed’s East 14th, Candy & Dorothy and The Intergalactic Nemesis. Previous management clients include Deathbed, Masked, Gutenberg! The Musical!, Duse’s Fever, The Man Himself, Confessions of a Mormon Boy, Apparition, Lord Buckley in the Zam Zam Room, Fascinating Aida's Absolutely Fascinating, Pugilist Specialist and A Tale of a Tiger. The Splinter Group also served as the general manager for the New York Music Theatre Festival (2006 & 2007) and the National Alliance for Musical Theatre’s Festival of New Musicals (2005-2007).
