A 1957 Fourth of July "Watch the Atomic Bomb" party is about to begin in a Las Vegas hotel room. Suddenly, two unexpected guests arrive and change the fortunes of everyone in the room.
Michael C. Stepowany, a native Washingtonian, grew up in Mt. Rainier, in Prince George's County. He attended Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington D.C., where his love for theater blossomed. He then went on to graduate from the NYU School of the Arts. (before it was Tisch.) Michael's writing coincidentally began with the demise of 'white-out', or the invention of word processors.
His first play, 'To Dance With Kings', was given a reading at the University of Maryland. It was with this first attempt that Mr. Stepowany found writing to be therapeutic. He was especially happy with his ability to write complex dialogue. "The Honey Trap" stretches his knack for conversation gymnastics. There are occasions where all six characters are speaking in the same scene. Influenced by Tennessee Williams and August Wilson, Michael prefers a single setting, as is the case for 'The Honey Trap'.Michael has had two musicals for young audiences performed throughout the Prince George's County parks with the M-NCP&P Commission. He has also had his play 'Tread' performed at the Studio Theater for the D.C. Black Theater Festival. His latest play, 'The Olive Fig Tree' was given a staged reading at the Kennedy Center, page to Stage festival.
