Mike Mariano is an internationally produced playwright who currently orbits in and around New Jersey. Sometimes he even earns money. The Bill Show is his second collaboration with Dean Hurley. His solo efforts -- including short plays about time shifts, ancient Titans, pink elephants, and couch sex -- have won minor distinctions and have been produced as close as his "public ivy" alma mater and as far as Kazakhstan.
