Monday Night Guest Speaker Series: Edward B. Smith

Each Monday night the Playwright’s Lab at Hollins and Mill Mountain Theatre present a talk by a prominent working professional theatre artist. Again this year, due to ongoing pandemic restrictions, the Monday Night Guest Speaker Series will be presented live via Zoom.

July 19: Edward B. Smith
Edward B. Smith – director, actor, producer
With over 20 years of experience in the worlds of theatre, print, film, and television, Smith has always approached his work with an eye to developing strategies to eradicate oppressive practices. As an artist of color, Smith recognizes the power of experiencing one’s own history and worldview manifest on stage and within administrative practices, as well as furthering connections to the stories of others. He holds a B.F.A. in performance and an M.A. in leadership/administration from Ohio University. Over the course of his career, he has performed and directed across North America at theatres such as the Cleveland Play House, Canadian Stage, and the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre. For the last 10 years, Smith has been a mainstay in the acting company at the Stratford Festival of Canada.
