Stan Kaplan is a native New Yorker whose work has been performed at numerous off-off Broadway theaters including Soho Repertory Theater, The Manhattan Theater Club, the Equity Library Theater at Lincoln Center and La MamA. He was a co-founder of Dentures art Club, an organization dedicated to bringing artist and non-artists together to do performance and conceptual work along progressive themes. He now divides his time between his farmhouse in northern California and a 1961 50' singlewide trailer set in a ghost town in northeast NevadA. He is married to Italian-American artist Joan Giannecchini. He also performs a one-man show, "Tonkin," a tabletop re-creation of the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Incident which was catalytic to the Vietnam War.

Top of PageSchrodinger's Cat
Synopsis:
The term "Schodinger's Cat" refers to a paradoxical (and theoretical) thought experiment by Erwin Schrodinger in which a scientist would have to open a steel chamber to see if a cat inside it has actually been poisoned by time-released radiation. It illustrates a conundrum of quantum mechanics in which finding out (measuring the state) cannot be done without the observer interfering with the experiment. In this one-act horror story, a dentist on-the-run poses a similar question with his valise, which may or may not contain evidence of his being a ruthless family murderer. It's an enigma play which challenges the notion that "We will never know what-if." Notwithstanding the grizzly context, it is a simple, reflective and funny reminiscence piece with a beguiling and quirky outlook on life and the mind's role in what we do.
Notes:
This play originated in the Experiments '00 Series At La Galleria And was subsequently presented by La MaMa that year in A three-part evening of Stan Kaplan's plays titled "Three Valises."
