About R. Kenneth Rich
Playwright/Librettist
“Suicidal Life Coach” was Ken’s premiere Off-Off-Broadway play. The award-winning production was part of the New York Theater Festival. Ken is currently developing two plays with music,
“Phoenix Raines” and “A Chorus Room.”
Screenwriter
When Bochco Productions liked Ken‘s NYPD Blue spec script, they asked for an additional dramatic writing sample. It was at that moment that Ken learned how to write a screenplay. Sort of.
Ken earned his membership to the WGAEast with a “written by” credit for “Nicky Voglio,” a low-budget feature shot in Utah, New York, and Catania and Taormina, Sicily.
Ken is currently developing “The Bravest Women” into a stage musical.
Songwriter/Composer
Ken’s music has been featured in the scores of “Moab: Then and Now”(documentary), “Nicky Voglio“ (feature), and “Life As We Know It” (TV special). He is a full member of BMI as a writer, as is his publishing company, Unsolicited Music . He named the company that in order to make the form-letter-rejections feel personalized.
He has written the music for two work-in-progress musicals:
“The Next Step“ and “SeinMeUp.”
Self-Help Author
A Board-Certified Life/Results/Business coach, Ken wrote “Overcoming Your Parents” which became an Amazon Kindle Best Seller.
Half of the coursework for his Master of Education degree from Harvard University was in psychology and adult development.
Photographer
A long, long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Ken was a professional photographer for the sports and entertainment industry (with a niche in daytime TV).
These days, he enjoys travel photography.
