Writer/performer Sid Ross is "quite a talented storyteller" whose style channels the "strangeness, yet normalcy, of Cosmo Kramer and Jerry Seinfeld." -- Shoshana Roberts, theasy.com
Sid Ross is a writer and performer whose latest solo piece Becoming OCD has been praised by audiences for its "strong writing, insightful humor, [and] great showmanship" (James 6252, show-score.com). It premiered in 2016 at the 20th annual New York International Fringe Festival, played the Fort Lauderdale and Chicago fringe festivals, and returned to New York this past September as part of the United Solo Festival on Theatre Row, an annual international festival featuring one-person shows. On May 20, Becoming OCD was videotaped at the Directors Company studio space. Sid's last full-length play, A Feeling of Family, about a dysfunctional but "enormously entertaining" family whose "dynamics during ...therapy sessions are beautifully, devastatingly scripted by Ross" (Megan Grumbling, Providence Phoenix), premiered in 2006 at the Lanyard Theater in Bath, ME.
Plays include A Feeling of Family (Lanyard Theater, Bath, ME); Collisionville (Workshop, 78th Street Theater Lab, New York, NY); Kangaroo Days (Grove Street Playhouse, New York, NY); White Crimes (MCC reading, New York, NY); and a one-act, An Affair of the Mind (New York University). Becoming OCD started in the play-baking lab of the WritersGroup, a playwriting collective, based in New York and Portland, for which Sid is a founding member.
Sid lives in Long Island City, NY, with his wife, artist Lori Sanford-Ross, and their daughter Rachel.
