The curly-haired GregKotis has a great sense of humour but at the time of our interview on the afternoon of the first Monday of 2005, he was a deeply worried man. He was about to have a run-through of Eat the Taste, having just returned from a doctor's appointment to repair a damaged neck.
Kotis also has two other musicals that he is currently working on.
GregKotis' writing often takes on political issues but he denies that he is a deeply political writer.
GREGKOTIS, 29, and Ayun Halliday, 30, are members of the Neo-Futurists, a small alternative theater troupe that started out in Chicago and recently moved to New York.

Kotis is intense and intellectual, a person who reads "Moby Dick" on the subway.
