ARTHUR KEYSER

This Sarasota playwright, whose work has been produced locally and by groups around the country, has generously entrusted Theatre Odyssey with the complete rights to all his plays. A retired attorney and lifetime theater-goer, Arthur turned to playwriting in his 80s. An early work, Mid-Life Romance, was a Festival finalist in 2010. Since then five more of his plays were produced at Theatre Odyssey Festivals, including 2015’s Best Play, High School Reunion. 

Two collections of Keyser’s short plays are now exclusively available from Theatre Odyssey. Those and a full-length play, Harry’s Angel,  are available under the imprint Theatre Odyssey Publications.
