Seth McNeill is a playwright and theatre artist more or less from Mississippi. The more part of it is that his parents were both from there and he mostly grew up there. The less part of it is he didn’t know what it was like to live somewhere more than two years until he was in his late twenties, and he was actually born in Alabama. He was homeschooled until college. His family once raised emus; It did NOT go well. All of this should theoretically explain a lot about who Seth is, but he’s still figuring out how to sum that up in a paragraph. This is an attempt at that paragraph.
 
Seth’s plays deal with isolation and social alienation, repressed family trauma, and whiteness through a quasi-absurdist, darkly comic lens. His plays have been developed and/or presented at Fresh Ground Pepper, Gingold Theatrical Group, Dixon Place, Fault Line Theatre, and the Hambidge Center. He has been named a semi-finalist for the O’Neill, the Shakespeare’s New Contemporaries Prize, and Primary Stages ESPA Drills.
 
Seth has also worked as an actor, script reader, and dramaturg with the American Shakespeare Center, Theatre for a New Audience, the Hambidge Center, and The Farm Theater. He has a Masters in Theatre from Hunter College, where he taught Intro to Theatre and was a two-time recipient of the Vera Mowry Roberts Fellowship. He is a frequent collaborator with Amios NYC, where he has worked as a playwright, actor, director, literary manager, and producer for Shotz, a monthly short play festival, and he was commissioned to expand one of his short plays into a full length for the Amios First Draughts series.
 
Seth lives with his wife Lori in a very old house in the Hudson Valley, and is re-learning all of that carpentry stuff his dad taught him.​
