Frederick Stroppel began writing for the theatre back in the 1980s; his first full-length play, The Price of Tea, was produced in NYC in 1986 at the Courtyard Playhouse in Greenwich Village. He became resident playwright of the Courtyard Players, and two years later, his play A Good Man, a black comedy set in a funeral parlor, was produced and published by Samuel French, Inc. Stroppel’s one-act play Do Over, published in 1990, was the first of the over 100 one-acts that he has written over the years, including A Chance Meeting, The Mamet Women, Glacier Bay, After the Ball, Coelacanth, Friendly Fire, Perfect Pitch and Designated Driver. Many were performed at the legendary Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the East Village of NYC; also at Theatre 22, the Actor's Playhouse, Synchronicity Space, the William Redfield Theatre, the Mint Theater and the Actor's Studio.
