Connor Johnson

Connor is a rambling theatermaker interested in bringing the outdoors onstage. Two of his plays, The Quiet Rule and 7 Foot Unlit Brighton Cashmere Artificial Tree, have been selected for the Theatre Master’s Take Ten Festival in New York City, with both plays being subsequently published through Concord Theatricals. Another of his plays, The Last Forest in Brooklyn, was a finalist for the Julie Jensen Playwriting Award at the Kennedy Center American Theater Festival. He recently collaborated with Leigh Fondakowski and Moises Kaufman of Tectonic Theatre Project on Bookends, the tale of a beloved Ozarkian bookshop, at the Arkansas New Play Festival at TheatreSquared. Connor is also a co-founder of Footpath Theatre Company, a scrappy band of dramatical goofballs, with whom he has written, developed, produced, and performed award-winning, critically acclaimed theatre around the country and world.
