Setting

Synopsis

Author Biography
Jeffrey Davis’ plays have been produced throughout Los Angeles, San Diego and Ventura, California, Oregon, and in New York City. His full length play Manic Season was produced in Los Angeles in 2007 with Marilyn Hassett. It is scheduled to have a staged reading in Pittsburgh in Spring 2008. With his wife, Louise Davis, he has produced twenty plays including Tennessee in the Summer, about the life of Tennessee Williams, which was nominated for two Los Angeles Ovation Awards. Davis has written for television situation comedies and for the National Geographic Channel, A&E and Discovery.

Jeffrey is a member of the Dramatists Guild, WGA, the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights and the Los Angeles Stage Alliance. He is an Associate Professor of Screen and Television Writing at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles.

8/13/10 - Jeffrey Davis' SHOW ME THE FUNNY! At the Writers’ Table with Hollywood’s Top Comedy Writers, a book of comedy writer interviews I did with co-author Peter Desberg will be published November 2, 2010 by Sterling Publishing, a subsidiary of Barnes & Noble.  The book is a little different from other interview books: Davis asked twenty-five celebrated writers to take a bare bones premise we gave them and develop it anyway they wanted. No limits, no rules and no boundaries. The result is twenty different stories created in real-time from writers like Phil Rosenthal (Everybody Loves Raymond), Sherwood Schwartz (Gilligan's Island) Ed Dector (There's Something About Mary) and Heide Perleman (The Simpsons, Frasier).
