Item Description
In the 1980s, Stephen Metcalfe was one of San Diego’s top playwrights, penning a string of memorable shows for the Old Globe, including “Strange Snow” and “Emily.”
Then Hollywood called, and he answered. He did the screenplays for “Jacknife” which was based on his play "Strange Snow" and starred Robert De Niro, Ed Harris and Kathy Baker. He also wrote the screenplay for “Cousins,” and had a hand in the scripts for “Pretty Woman,” “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” and “Arachnophobia,” among others.
In 2002 Metcalfe wrote and directed the independent film Beautiful Joe. Metcalfe's stage plays include Loves & Hours, Vikings, Strange Snow, Sorrows and Sons, Pilgrims, Half a Lifetime, Emily, White Linen, Divirtimenti, The Incredibly Famous Willy Rivers, and White Man Dancing. His play The Tragedy of the Commons premiered in January 2011 at Cygnet Theatre Company in San Diego.
In recent years Metcalfe wrote his first novel, “The Tragic Age,” a young-adult tale about a 17-year-old boy, Billy Kinsey, who sees the world as mostly absurd. Having your father win the lottery and your twin sister die from leukemia will do that to a kid.
His second novel, The Practical Navigator, was released in August of 2016. The Practical Navigator is the story of Michael Hodge, a man who is adrift and is looking to find his bearings. All he knows is that a safe harbor, a sheltered haven for himself and the people he loves, is far away.
The winning bidder of this auction, and a guest, will enjoy lunch with Stephen Metcalfe.
