Moisés Kaufman is a Tony and Emmy nominated playwright and director, best known for his revolutionizing plays that sensitively probe questions of culture and sexuality. As co-founder and Artistic Director of Tectonic Theater Project, Kaufman has been one of the most important voices in American theater over the past three decades.
Born in Venezuela to Orthodox Jewish parents, Kaufman came to New York in 1987 to study experimental theatre at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. It was during this time of great social upheaval that Kaufman began to consider new ways in which stories could be told on stage. By exploring and bending traditional formal elements, Kaufman set out to define a new theatrical experience. This exploration led to his two groundbreaking debuts -- "Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde" and "The Laramie Project".
While Kaufman’s work is experimental in nature, his productions have always reached wide audiences and attracted top talent, including Jessica Chastain, Jane Fonda, and Robin Williams. His Broadway credits include “The Heiress”, “33 Variations”, and the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning “I Am My Own Wife” . A recipient of the National Medal of Arts, presented by President Barack Obama in 2016, Kaufman continues to push boundaries on stage while tackling society’s crucial issues.
