Bio
Prince Gomolvilas is an internationally produced Thai-American playwright and winner of a PEN Center USA Literary Award for Drama. His critically acclaimed supernatural play, The Brothers Paranormal, debuted Off-Broadway at the Beckett Theatre, in a production by Pan Asian Repertory Theatre. It has since been published by Dramatic Publishing and performed across the country. He received an unprecedented co-commission from East West Players, Perseverance Theatre, and Theatre Mu to write Paranormal Inside, a standalone sequel to The Brothers Paranormal. He is also working on Artificial, a comedy about AI technology, which was commissioned by SPARC Theater's Science@Play program. He is also a former Assistant Professor of Writing at the University of Southern California.
Press
Prince Gomolvilas' clever, multilayered play is gratifyingly subtle in its inquiry into migration—the pain of crossing over for the living and the dead alike.
A play titled The Theory of Everything should think big and mess with a lot of ideas. In its easygoing way, Prince Gomolvilas' comedy is pleased to comply.
A new breed of independent playwright...has been changing [Los Angeles'] small-theater scene from the often bland to the frequently stimulating.
