Remote: The Play
"What happens when a small-town family signs up for a big-deal reality show? Vincent Truman's "Remote" answers that very question. Attacking a variety of issues from family and fame to sexism and politics, "Remote" is a dark comedy with a little bit of everything.
When the crew of the show discover how boring the family is, they begin to make their own reality. By doing so (in one heartbreaking scene, the daughter recounts her first intimate experience only to have the director recommend she cut herself), the family and everything it stands for begins to crumble." -- UIC Flame, 2006

The Tearful Assassin
In Vincent Truman's riveting play, "The Tearful Assassin", a teenager is kidnapped from her bed in the middle of the night. The detectives on the case come face to face with the parents, whose estrangement and bitterness thwarts the investigation from the start. As their daughter comes to terms with a horrific new life, under the control of a sinister stranger, the parents learn to cope by actually embracing the tragedy.
This play explores the world of goodbyes and farewells, and the myriad of reasons we choose to use them.
"There is a war out there, not between good and evil, but between truth and belief. And truth often has a hard time winning, because truth needs strength. Belief doesn't need anything." - Detective Fowler, "The Tearful Assassin"

This Is My First Time So Please Be Brutal
Vincent Truman's "This Is My First Time So Please Be Brutal" depicts over a hundred cartoons from the Chicago artist, ranging from bad puns (toad rage) to sharp-tongued commentary (a priest asks 'why are there no atheists in foxholes', to which a boy replies 'because atheists don't start wars'). This debut collection of illustrations, inspired by such diverse artists as Johnny Hart, B. Kliban and Matt Groening, is at once hysterical, subversive, vile and thought-provoking.
Vincent Truman is a celebrated writer, director, actor, artist and producer in Chicago. His theater work is especially well-lauded, garnering him numerous positive notices and articles.

Ugly Bungalow
"Ugly Bungalow" is a series of short, sharp stories, illustrations, character studies and observations by Chicago-based writer Vincent Truman. Drawing inspiration by such disparate icons as Spaulding Gray, David Sedaris, B. Kliban and Mark Leyner, Truman's essays specialize in turning left when you are expecting them to turn right, such as dealing with sensitive issues with a brazen, definitely un-politically correct demeanor. Highlights include a diary of a cross-dressing immigrant named Olaf and his search for his daughter, a series of letters from a fellow called Wallace who becomes unnaturally devoted to women, usually after the first date, and a very unusual holiday tale entitled "My Christmas With the Cannibals." About the author: Vincent Truman was born the third of two children and currently lives in limbo with his pet peeves.
