Tim J. Lord

Tim J. Lord is a native of the prairies and suburbs of the Midwest, currently living in Brooklyn. Though based in New York, his plays are still very much rooted in the Midwest, exploring the relationships between communities and the physical landscapes they inhabit often via our shared mythologies. His play Down in the face of God premiered with the Vagrancy in Los Angeles, and he continues to work on Over Before We Get There, a commission for the Veterans Center for the Performing Arts based on the short stories of Vietnam vet Nick Corea. "We declare you a terrorist..." premiered at the 2009 Summer Play Festival. Other plays have been developed and produced at The Public Theater, Actors Theatre of Louisville, The Lark, the New Harmony Project, Chalk Rep, Rude Mechanicals, HotCity Theatre, and the NNPN/Kennedy Center’s University Playwrights Workshop. Tim studied with Paula Vogel while a resident of Providence, RI, and is a graduate of the MFA playwriting program at the University of California, San Diego.
