JUSTIN HALLE is a QUEER, JEWY, and SOMETIMES FUNNY playwright who lives in NYC.

Justin is a 2025 Finalist for Page 73’s Playwriting Fellowship and a member of Page 73’s Writers Group. Justin’s play VILE ISLE—a precocious and party-fueled dark comedy about Old Testament floods, the prejudices of gay men, and why DJs aren’t real musicians (sue me) (wait no please don’t)—opened The Tank’s 2025 Core Season and was described by The New Yorker’s Helen Shaw as “superb,” “horny,” “goofy but also deeply moral,” and “horny,” and “horny.”

When Justin isn’t writing plays or rewriting his/their website blurb, they/he plays drums in a band called Boy Howdy! which is not, in fact, a country band.

Justin has a heterosexual brother who’s in law school and single and very polite and their Jewish mother did not tell Justin to include this.
