Roger Iverson’s one-act about infertility, Window of Opportunity, won Third Place in Burien Theater's New Millennium Playwright’s Contest, 2000. From that production, it was picked up by the Driftwood Players in Edmonds, Washington for full production at the Bremerton Bash 2000. Window of Opportunity was also featured in Mill Mountain Theater's ‘Centerpieces’, in Roanoke, Virginia and as a fully staged production in the 2001 South Sound Playwright’s Festival.
Merry NoËl, a Christmas story set in July, won Second Place at the Burien Playwright’s Contest, 2001. It also received a staged reading for the South Sound Playwright’s Festival, 2001, and at the Playwright’s Circle in Palm Springs, California in 2002. Artistic Director, Marilee Warner-Riva, says of that performance, “Merry NoËl went wonderfully! Everyone loved it! The actors were terrific! Comments were ‘clever, ingenious, unpredictable, etc.’ - Really went over very, very well!” In 2003 it won The People’s Choice Award for the South Sound Playwright’s Festival.
One of Roger’s plays for children, Ugly Ducklings, was produced by the North End Children’s Theater, Tacoma, Washington, in July of 2000. It toured around the city of Tacoma.
Roger has had another of his children’s plays performed for the Tacoma Public Schools. To The King! is a short play loosely based on the history of Fort Nisqually, an historic Hudson’s Bay Company encampment of the mid 19th century. It has received several productions.
Jason’s Trouble, a narrative, was published in Pacific Lutheran University’s on line magazine, The Scene. His poetry is published in Saxifrage.
When not writing, Mr. Iverson directs and performs in local theatre. He teachers grade school in Tacoma where he lives with his wife and their four young children.
