Jordan Paul Sullivan is a playwright from Orange County, California. In 2023 he was the resident playwright for Lantern Theatre, in Dana Point. His radio plays “Pilgrim,” “The Goat Walk,” and “The Foxes” were featured on Lantern Theatre’s original comedy series, City of Dana. Sullivan describes his playwriting style as “Cyclic Realism.” The characters in a cyclically realistic play not only interact with one another and pursue their desires, but actively pull apart the rules and logic of the world they inhabit. They revolt against laws of physics, the objectivity of memory, historical facts, and even the constructed reality that the playwright has set forth for them. Then in time, through their struggles, the staged reality of Sullivan’s characters is reconstructed into something new and coherent.
