Manage episode 293912386 series 2856728
Welcome to the first episode of our Playwright Spotlight series! Today's episode features Cris Eli Blak, a playwright who has found increased success during the past year. He has had worked produced, performed, and/or published around the world including Off-Broadway (Urban Stages, Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre), on the West Coast (Left Edge Theatre, Common Ground Theatre, Breath of Fire Latina Ensemble Theater), in London (The Quean's Theatre, Flawstate), in Australia (Melting Pot Theatre), and in Ireland (Eva's Echo).
We talk about how the past year has opened doors for individuals who might not have had the same access to theatre opportunities before, what Cris likes to write about and how this time has informed his art, and how Cris stays creative and prolific. You can check out his work and follow his journey on Instagram (and he promises to get a website soon!).
