Simon Meisel is an educator, theatre-maker, and beekeeper based out of the Hudson Valley in upstate New York. A multihyphenate theatre practitioner, he embraces the role of the “citizen dramaturg,” approaching his practice as the joyful task of cultivating curiosity and dialogue — whether this is interdisciplinary dramaturgical dialogue, intertextual dialogue in playwriting, or direct dialogue with the community in a performance context.
