Nice to meet you! 

My name is Eric J. Masters, writer/director of The Keys of Emily. I would like to thank The Vintage Theater, this fantastic cast for bearing with me as I wrap up the writing process and to all of you who are willing to come along with us on this little trip. 

This idea began a few months ago. From a young age I have always been a fan of the classic mystery, the Agatha Christie, The Charlie Chan and even the Sherlock Holmes - the “who dun it”. HOWEVER - while foggy moors and sinister butlers may have worked for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, it would not for me. I can only write what I know, and what I know is the present. Relationships, that strange stage between high school and the dreaded “mid life” period - those are things I have experienced and are living through today. With my love of the classic caper and my style of writing I have created what I feel will be a truly unique experince for all in attendance. 

I was born and raised in NEPA and attended three local universities (and finally graduated from one of them……I think). I work as a research analyst for a regional data collection agency. I live with one dog, a couple of walls and a laptop. I apologize for the vaugness but this project is not about me - it is about the words and how several fine local actors will bring them to life. The cast will be announced publicly shortly. 

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the ride (please be sure to join us on August 14th when this ride arrives at its destination)!
