Critical Acclaim

Rich is our favorite playwright and a joy to work with. He is constantly writing new plays and always delivers his material early. He loves to rewrite and listen to everybody who has feedback. We want to clone him, so we'll have new plays from him every day.
--Michelle DeLong,
Artistic Director, The Warehouse Theater, OKC, OK.

Rich is the best of the new generation of young playwrights. Like Neil Simon, David Mamet and Arthur Miller all mixed together, he's a pleasure to work with and a rare talent.
--Joseph Bologna,
"Lovers and Other Strangers, Bermuda Avenue Triangle," etc.

Prof. K is the foremost writing teacher in the country. Nobody has as much passion for the craft and art of writing as he does. I love his classes and his plays and know that you will, too.
--Katrina Wilson,
Director, Planetary Voices Institute.

Krevolin knows comedy, he knows structure. Basically, he's a know-it-all, but he really is a great playwright. I'd hire him to write a play if I could afford it.
--Rudy Deluca,
Writer of High Anxiety, Silent Movie, Life Stinks, etc.

Prof. Krevolin is one of the most dedicated and inspired writers I have ever known.
--Chris Vogler,
Author of The Writer's Journey.

Nobody knows more about playwriting than Prof. K. Do whatever it takes to produce his plays. Yes, do it. Go. Do it. NOW!
--Jeff Arch,
