All this week leading up to Sunday’s Tony Awards, we are rolling out a daily video featuring a Colorado theatre artist working in New York. Second up: Denver School of the Arts grad Max Posner, who is a commissioned playwright for Playwrights Horizons in Manhattan and in 2012 was the Playwriting Fellow for Page 73 Productions.

Posner, who also trained as a teen through the Curious Theatre’s Curious New Voices Project, was named one of The Denver Post’s “Can’t Miss Kids” in 2006 along with Noah Wilson, Akil LuQman, Melissa Benoist and Courtney Lorenz.

Posner’s plays include The Thing About Air Travel, The Famished, The War on Safety, You Me + The Spiders, and SNORE and other sorts of breathing. His plays have been staged and developed at Actors Theatre of Louisville, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Colt Coeur, The Hangar Theatre, Curious Theatre Company, The Blank Theatre, Young Playwrights Inc, and Production Workshop. He graduated from Brown University in 2011. He is the recipient of the Weston Award in Playwriting and the 2011 Heideman Award from Actors Theatre of Louisville.

Look for an announcement in the next few weeks about a full production coming next season.
