About The Author
John Culbertson has always made
his living as a writer. After graduating from the University of
Georgia with a degree in journalism, he went to work as a news
reporter for WYFF-TV in Greenville, South Carolina. His ten years
there resulted in numerous Associated Press awards and honors, but
most importantly led to the idea for his first play, “The Spectator
Sport”. After a successful opening production of the play, one
newspaper reviewer called it, “ a blend of Neil Simon and Jean
Kerr, with a splash of Tennessee Williams. It is an excellent piece
of work”.
Culbertson left the news business
to further exercise the right side of his brain by becoming
Creative Director at TVP Studios, a film and video production
company. There his writing skills have been recognized by more than
30 National Telly Awards, an Intercom award from the Chicago
International Film Festival, and various local and regional ADDY
awards. His most recent play, “Messiah on the Frigidaire” has
already been recognized nationally as a finalist in the New Century
Writer Awards. John still makes his home in Greenville, South
Carolina where he shares his life with his wife, two children, two
dogs, two horses, and two cats.
