STEPHEN SHEFFER

Hello!

I am a Canadian-born, Brooklyn-based playwright, screenwriter, performer, and teaching artist whose work explores the wild worlds inside and all around us. Plays include Lean-To (59E59 Theaters, New Light Theater Project), the freshly-penned SOS (59E59, staged reading), Private Property (Out of the Box Theatrics), the award-winning Back To Mine, and the one-acts The Spark (The Barrow Group) and IRMPOV SHOW. For the screen, projects including Geri Atrick Mayor (Bell Canada), The Devil’s Path, and Archipelago (with collaborator Meghan Hemingway).

My work has been seen at Ars Nova, Rattlestick Theater, Cherry Lane Theatre, HERE Arts Center, Hartford Stage, The Flea and at the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals.

As an improviser, I am a founding member of NYC's Dirty Little Secrets Improv Show, which has been running in the East Village since 2015, and am the co-creator and co-host of the triviatastic Feelz Right Quiz Night.

I’m a passionate outdoors enthusiast and have spent a lot of time in a lot of forests all over the world.
