About the Playwrights
William Missouri Downs has authored 20 full-length plays, 4 books and written for such NBC sitcoms as Fresh Prince Of Bel Air and My Two Dads. He has had nearly 100 productions of his plays from New York to Singapore and from Israel to South Africa, including LORT theatres like the Kennedy Center and the Berkeley Rep. Bill holds an MFA in acting from the University of Illinois and an MFA in screenwriting from UCLA.

Nick Stokes is a playwright and author of fiction. His plays include Whiteout (Richard Hugo House, Hugo Writers Fund, directed by Skye Moody); Surviving the Hobgoblins (Charles Wright Academy, directed by Mike Moffitt); and The Martyred (finalist James W. Rodgers Playwriting Competition). He lives in Tacoma with his wife, son, and soon-to-be baby.

John Allis is currently attending Fairhaven College at Western Washington University. This year he will graduate with a Concentration in Drama, Social Theory, and the Language Arts. After graduation John plans to pursue theatre internships in Literary Management, and ultimately to continue his formal education, to enroll in graduate school, and to study Dramatic Writing.

Dan Erickson's full-length play, "Convention," was recently invited to the Kennedy Center/ACTF regional finals. Last year Dan was awarded first and second place in the KC/ACTF regional ten-minute play contest for "Play" and "Snippy," which was just produced in the NPA Festival of Northwest Plays, and also produced with our Japanese AIE program. "Snippy" will make its UK premiere later this month with NPA' British Arts Tour. Dan is currenly in L.A. having lunch with weasels.
