 Ricardo Pérez González (Playwright in Residence, Founding Member) splits his time writing between his stoop garden in NYC and his window garden in LA. His first play, the story of the WWI Christmas Truce In Fields Where They Lay (dir. Brad Raimondo) was hailed by the NY Times as “gripping” and “moving drama.” Since that debut, the Sundance Institute selected Ricardo for their Inaugural Writer’s Intensive and his Alan Turing Biopic, The Tender Peel, won him an Alfred P. Sloan Grant. He is also currently a member of the Emerging Writer’s Group at the Public Theater. His produced writing credits include the drag ball musical Neon Baby (book writer/co-lyricist, Pregones 2013), Inside Out (commissioned by Pregones to address anti-gay bullying), a play about the biblical figure Hannah (2014 commission), Ashé, his Puerto Rican style two brothers myth (UP Theater, 2013), and his short film Losses and Gains about gay male body image. Unproduced work includes his transgender family drama, La casa de Ocaso, his BDSM drama R.A.C.K., his comedic play about cultural scapegoating, Name & Blame, Inc., and his play about the cutthroat world of women in academia, Plagium. Upcoming projects include a December 2014 remount of In Fields Where They Lay, and the ongoing development of Red and Gold, his new play about racially segregated gay bars in the 1950s, at the New York Public Theater.
