Biography: Boy About Ten is associated with playwright Jon Tuttle, who serves as playwright-in-residence at Trustus Theatre and a professor of English at Francis Marion University. Tuttle’s career includes multiple world premieres at Trustus and a body of work that encompasses plays such as The Hammerstone, Drift, Holy Ghost, The Sweet Abyss, The Palace of the Moorish Kings, and Boy About Ten. His academic appointments and prolific output position him as a notable figure in American theatre, with ongoing collaboration between artistic and academic institutions.
Discography Highlights: The name Boy About Ten also appears as a track title on a 1991 Harold Budd album, By the Dawn's Early Light. This composition is not connected to Jon Tuttle’s play and should be distinguished when researching the work. For fans of the broader theatre and music landscape, the Harold Budd reference is a separate cultural artifact.
