George Rideout was raised in Texas and moved to Thunder Bay, Ontario, at the age of sixteen. He lived in several provinces before settling in Qu�bec and is now a member of the Theater Department at Bishop's University in Lennoxville. Winner of several regional and national playwriting awards, George Rideout's plays have been produced across Canada. His playwriting class at Bishop's is the source of work for the annual New Plays Festival which presents one-act plays written by Bishop's students. Many of his plays reflect his fascination with cross-cultural relationships, particularly as they exist in times of great social change. Those plays include Texas Boy (which has had more than thirty different productions), The Longstreth Line , Walking on the Moon , 689 Spadina Ave , The Austin Texas Twist Championship , The Tall Girl , and An Anglophone Is Coming to Dinner .
