Brian Watson-Jones

As a writer, he's a part of Tedious Brief Productions, and co-wrote all of their previous shows (Bard Fiction, Tempests, The Final Act, and Mead Hall). As a maniac, he's a company member with The Haunted Basement, and writes little horrible things, puppets a giant pig, or chases people while dressed as a bear. As an... all of those, he writes and performs for Ghost Wax, a locally-produced horror anthology podcast which won an Audio Verse award for 2023 Best New Production. His resume is a confusing mess, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

MFA, Directing (Columbia University).
