  • Andrew Pastides (Writer/Director/Producer)

    Andrew Pastides has devoted himself to telling stories in a myriad of ways. Through the words of others (including Williams, Sheppard, Kaufman, Kolvenbach, on stage, as well as a variety of performances on network television), through his own words (short stories, sketch comedy, poems, teaching), through dance (a former cast member at Sleep No More), and through the beautiful visuals of feature film (Celia Rowlson-Hall’s MA, James Duff’s Hank and Asha).

    Andrew’s performances have been seen on screen at the TriBeca, Venice, Thessaloniki, Rotterdam, AFI, and SXSW film festivals, to name a few. He was awarded Best Actor at the Napa Valley Film Festival as well as nominated for an IRNE for his work in the theatre.  

    Whatever the medium, Andrew prioritizes aligning himself with meaningful, risky, and evocative stories in his pursuit to lay bare the most vivid rendering of the truth. A graduate of the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, Andrew holds a BFA from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.

  • Matt Lauria (Actor/Producer)

“Mr. Pastides gives us a hostile but likable and even poignant Tom whose regret seems to grow as the play progresses”
