Richard Hinojosa grew up in the heart of Texas. There he began writing absurd, agit-prop sketch comedy and plays with his performance troupe Kairos! Co. He now lives in Brooklyn and for the past 10 years he has been writing and producing sketch comedy and short dark comic plays. Panichorea was first presented in the 2002 NY International Fringe Festival. It was written as a reaction to the atmosphere in the media and around the water cooler after 9-11. He most recently moved into puppetry producing the late-night series The Outer Puppets at Under St. Mark's Theater.

Sluggo's wife, Jane, has dated Sluggos in various forms since high school and she can t seem to stop no matter how badly things turn out. His adopted brother Steve is a pathetic 30-something who just wants to have sex with young, hot chicks. Steve goes to a swami who tells him he has a "squid tumor" but then admits that he's a lying sack of shit ; still Steve allows the swami to operate on him. Sluggo s guardian angel is too weak to resist his cruelty and eventually turns toward the dark side. His mom is jealous of other women getting too close to her boys. and there is a vicious, nightstick happy cop who keeps showing up in the bedroom.

Outer Puppets, The

Synopsis:
the Outer Puppets is the premiere episode of a sci-fi puppet storytelling hour set in the future of low budget public theater. Three stories are told in one bizarre night of live Puppet theater with live music. the first story, "Official Probe," explores the cavernous gap between what officials want us to know and what the truth is. the second story, "the Pet Light Bulb," finds a woman overwhelmed by her new bioluminescent worm and its strange needs. Chaos ensues when she breaks every rule in the owner's manual. the final story, "Digi-Lounger," propels us into the distant future when humans no longer have contact with anything except a giant digital butt plug. See what happens when an escaped experimental roach crawls on him. the show is hosted (and rudely commented on) by two junk robots from the outer rim (of Brooklyn).
