Joshua Conkel

 

 

 

Joshua Conkel was raised in the pine forests of rural Washington State and studied theater at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, where he wrote his earliest plays. After assistant directing the first incarnation of The Light in the Piazza at The Intiman Theater, Joshua moved to New York and became a member of the downtown theater company, The Management, where he is now Co-Artistic Director.

In 2008, along with his theater company, Joshua became an Artist-in-Residence at Horse Trade Theatre Group, with whom he will be producing many new works in the coming year. His most recent play, The Chalk Boy, enjoyed productions in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and New York (co-produced by Horse Trade) this year and received rave reviews.

His plays include Women in Pants, A Love Story for People Who Hate Everything, Pretty as a Picture or the Story of a Girl Who was Almost in a Warrant Video, Odd Days/Even Days, and The Invisible Boy Says Goodbye.
