Hal Cosentino

I am a transgender writer, educator, and actor creating scripts that blend embodied performance with expansive language. I've developed work in Chicago, New York, and Austin. Previously I was a member of The Syndicate, a network of artists that produced new plays, performances, and events by women, queer, and trans people. Before that, as an undergraduate at Skidmore College, I studied performance with SITI Company and at the Moscow Art Theatre School. Right now I'm pursuing an M.F.A. in Playwriting at The University of Texas at Austin.

Ellenor Riley-Condit

I am a theater maker working at the intersection of performance creation and liberatory praxis. I specialize in processes that balance artistic rigor with collective care, working as a performer, director, deviser, dramaturg, and creative producer. Favorite projects include Then We’ll Rest and Oh, Buddy at UT Austin, A Day’s Work with The Syndicate, and the award-winning film Committee of Six. As an organizer, I was a cofounder of the Chicago Artists Relief Fund and works with Calling Us In, a national network of creatives dedicated to anti-racist education and action in theater and the arts. I teach and make plays with students of all ages, including as the Faculty and Curriculum Coordinator at Vassar College’s Powerhouse Theater Training Program, where I have directed Once In A Hundred Years, Marathon, and Trojan Women. I trained extensively with SITI Company.
