About Wade
Wade Bradford grew up in rainy Washington state. In 1991, at the age of 19, he moved down to California. Ever since then he has been complaining about how he “misses the seasons.” He has a beautiful wife and two adorable children. He also has a dog, a fish, a cat and a bird.
Okay, now I’ll stop talking about myself in the third person…
I have loved writing since I was a little kid. My specialties are: plays, young adult novels, middle-grade fiction, and picture books.
Exciting News!
My first picture book, “Why Do I Have To Make My Bed?” was recently sold to Tricycle Press! It will be in bookstores in late 2010 or early 2011.
In 2000, my first play was published by Eldridge Plays. Since that time, the following plays have been published by Eldridge, Heuer, and Big Dog Plays. You can find a complete list of the plays here.
During the last few years, I have fallen in love with blogging. Here’s some of the many things I write about:
Blog #1 : Wade’s Personal Blog
This is where I discuss my life (which is happily mundane), my writing (which is legendary in my own mind), and my teaching (which is incredibly fun for me – though I can’t speak for my students!).

Hi, I just want to ask, when was Cinema Limbo written?
I’m in a directing class this semester and I am thinking of using that play for my 10 minute scene so I am doing some background info research

Hi Yenn,
The ten-minute play was written in 2009. However, it’s loosely based upon a book I wrote, “Enjoy Your Show,” way back in 2000.
Have a blast in your directing class!

Hey Wade!
I am doing one of the funny monlogues as part of my auditions to several drama schools in London. I would like to know when Romeo Revised was written.
Thank you in advance.

HI Velko,
“Romeo Revised” was written in 2007. I believe it was first in print in early 2008.
Break a leg at the audition!

Hello!
If you don’t mind answering some questions for my research paper for my directing scene. I would like to know more about Cinema Limbo.
Have you seen any of the productions of Cinema Limbo? How similar and different were they? What made you write it? and what was your purpose of writing this short scene?
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it. I’ll be starting rehearsals for the scene soon and I am excited!!!!

Hi! My name is Malynda. I would like to say that I especially enjoy your plays, but I have one question.
I am doing a monologue from CSI: Neverland (it’s the one where the Operator is taking calls and then Thumbelina gets on the line and she forgets all about everything else) for my theatre class. My question is: Did you have any influences in your life that helped you or was the reason why you wrote this play?
If you could get back to me soon, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much,
Malynda
