Andrew Black is a playwright and a teacher of playwrights. He currently lives in Columbia, Missouri, where he is working on a PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies. His area of research is best practices for teaching playwriting (and many of his research discoveries find their way into his classes for the IWC). He teaches beginning playwriting and screenwriting for Mizzou.
Andrew has an MFA from Ohio University’s School of Theatre. His first full-length play Porn Yesterday (co-written with Patricia Milton in 2001) has been produced across the country. Since that first play reached the stage, it has been a non-stop, full-on adventure! Many productions of short plays and full-length plays have followed.
Andrew has been on the faculty of the Indiana Writers Center since 2012. He is the founder of the Indiana Playwrights Circle. He is currently working on a one-person show called What Same-Sex Marriage Means to Me which tracks his adventures as a man who loves other men through the changing legal, cultural and political trends of the last 60 years.
