JUSTIN HALLE

Justin Aaron Halle (they/he) is a queer, Jewy, New York-based playwright and theater-maker whose work is irreverent, hilarious, fast-talking and disruptive. Their plays might begin in living rooms before spiraling, almost imperceptibly, into something stranger and scarier (and sometimes sillier). Justin obsesses over defense mechanisms and how we use humor and cruelty to hide from who we really are, especially when it comes to shifting gender identity. Justin loves emotional extremists who might have ordinary feelings but act on them in extraordinary, ridiculous ways.

Justin is influenced by the work of Jen Silverman, Nicky Silver, and The Real Housewives.

Upcoming: VILE ISLE will open The Tank’s 2024/2025 Core Season in the Fall.
