‏Connor Keene‏

Connor Keene discovered a love for dramatic texts and literature at a young age when he was nearly crippled after being hit in an accident. Spending almost a year of his life in a bed, he read his first play - Richard III. To this day his love of Shakespeare, the classics and writing has never left him.

Connor first went to study theatre at Fullerton College. There, he studied and worked for three years in every possible capacity: direction, stage management, technical theatre, design, and producing. He worked so tirelessly that the school inevitably hired him as a carpenter and later technician. Connor left FC having won the highest awards and scholarships possible, but more importantly, a work ethic and understanding of what it takes to make art. He would then transfer to the University of California Irvine, to expand his academic knowledge of performance and theory. Taking every class he could with Bryan Reynolds, he studied advanced theory, global performance, adapting texts, and of course Shakespeare.

After a few years focusing on writing in Las Vegas, he went abroad and studied in one of the best conservatories in England (East 15) for his Masters degree. Before returning home, he wrote and devised a show with some of his colleagues called The Girl and The Box. That show would go one to be selected as one of the top picks at the largest theatre festival in England.

Now back in Los Angeles, he is working as an actor, while continuing to write for stage and is even branching into commercial fiction.
