Peter Fenton has been writing plays since he was just fourteen. The middle school play he was part of in eighth grade inspired him to write his own play and he immediately began writing, which culminated in sold-out performances of this first play in his hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In the process, he fell in love with the art of writing dialogue and kept writing and observing human interaction, as he chose to study Interpersonal Communication at Wheaton College in Illinois. In addition, he has worked as a summer camp counselor, toured Europe as a band videographer, and sung bass in the Wheaton College Men's Glee Club. "I write from the same place in my heart that I counseled summer camp: telling imaginative new stories propelled by sharp wit and whimsical enthusiasm coming straight from my heart. I hope my writing never takes itself too seriously but rather, takes joy in the little world it creates. I seek to tell a new collection of comedy fairy tales for a twenty-first century audience: the endings are not meant to shock: good ultimately wins, but not without a couple postmodern curveballs along the way. I love providing this brand of storytelling for pleasure readers, English classes, high school theater, experimental collegiate theater, and community theater (Ambitious middle school theater programs are also always encouraged!)"
