Peter Valentyne graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy where he was awarded the prestigious Atlantic Monthly prize for poetry. He had his first screenplay Petals On a Wet, Black Bough optioned by Tri-Star Pictures. Staged readings in New York include three full-length plays: The Unimagined Bridge, The Fortuneteller’s Nostalgia and Candidates for God, the latter done at Manhattan Punchline Theatre. He has written two additional screenplays (yet to be produced) The Enemy Joy and Court of the Arms. His plays The Aluminum Garden, Prater at Lethe, The Logic of Solids and Trusting Mr. Universe were all produced by Sage Theatre Company on Theatre Row, all four of which were awarded “Best Plays” in the company’s annual competition. The Aluminum Garden ran for a record six months. Mr. Valentyne believes in bringing plays to the people having himself directed Trusting Mr. Universe for performances in a church. His play The Logic of Solids (first produced in 1998 at the Abington Theatre) was last performed at the foot of a lighthouse on the Isle Au Haut in Maine for a benefit performance to raise proceeds for the restoration of the island lighthouse. The project was filmed as a documentary for Maine Public Television. Peter hosts a Film Series on Wednesday evenings at 8:00 at Manhattan Plaza. He is currently at work on a new play entitled Under Nimbus. Also, Peter has a new book of poetry entitled Blue Healer .
