Joseph Samual WrightJoseph Samuel Wright 

Joseph Samuel Wright is a playwright, producer, director, and the founding artistic director of Roots and Wings Theatrical (www.rawtheatrical.org). Joseph’s plays have been produced both off-off Broadway and regionally, and during his collegiate hay-day his LGBT youth advocacy play Ours was performed at colleges across East Tennessee. In addition to Theasy, you may recognize his byline from BroadwaySpace.com or his tragically under-updated blog. Special soft spots for environmental theatre, experimental forms, and strong female leads. www.JosephSamuelWright.com

Terra Vetter 

Terra has spent the last decade of her life living in Brooklyn and hopelessly addicted to theater. When she's not working as a stage manager or dabling as playwright she's seeing shows. Lots of shows. In addition to the theater she has significant amounts of love for reading, the Q train and board games. She's also a member of The Lucky Artist Theater Company.

 

Zak Risinger

Zak Risinger 

Zak Risinger likes theatre and thinks that it should be easy. Originally from the land where the wind comes sweeping down the plain, he attended the University of Oklahoma and has worked professionally as an actor and dramaturg all across the country. He often likes plays that are a little quirky and make you look at the world a little differently but is also a sucker for the classics.

Julie Feltman

Julie Feltman 

When Julie is not reviewing a play, she is a freelance stage-manager for off and off-off-Broadway, or brainstorming projects with her company, the Lucky Artists Theater Company. She is a classically trained singer, and occasionally enjoys performing light opera regionally and in New York. Julie is currently pursuing a business economics degree at Pace University, and resides in Brooklyn.

Tzipora Kaplan

Tzipora Kaplan 

Tzipora Kaplan is an indie-theatre so-and-so who spends a lot of time in search of both the perfect handbag and umbrella. What she is currently pleased about: working with the NYIT awards 2009, writing an action-adventure flick starring Daniel Craig and Ed Norton, contributing her opinions on Theasy, and the crazy and brilliant people who sustain both her social life and her hope for a better and brighter future. She continues to soldier on in her pursuit of artistic happiness (the ultimate oxymoron) and sincerely hopes that one day she will have the guts to be irreverent in her bio.

Haytham ElhawaryHaytham Elhawary 

Haytham Elhawary leads a double life: by day he is an uninteresting geeky engineer working in medical robotics; by night he transforms into an incredibly handsome theatre going superhero. He also enjoys improv, literature, and has devised a plan to help you all select the best of the theater scene by writing reviews for Theasy.

Jessica Cauttero 

Jessica is a freelance arts writer, semi-professional nerd, Master's degree dilettante and native New Yorker. She has been working in or around theatermaking for over ten years and her favorite offstage job was probably making puppets. As an actor, she specialized in portraying men and people over the age of 50; as a writer, she prefers offbeat/quirky and classical shows, combined in the most interesting way possible. When not writing, she is reading, sewing, knitting, or performing under an assumed name wearing a lot of glitter.

Jason RostJason Rost 

Jason Rost is a recent transplant to New York from his hometown of Chicago where he was a critic, dramaturge, producer and director. He is currently pursuing his MFA in Theatre Directing at Brooklyn College.  He is excited to devour the New York theatre scene and report back through Theasy. Jason can also be seen on his pursuit for the best cup of coffee and best pour of beer in NYC.
