Carl Menninger

I am a published author, a accomplished playwright and director, an experienced administrator, and a skilled educator. I bring a collaborative, creative approach to every project, mentoring artists and shaping innovative theatre experiences. I have taught, directed, and produced work across Windy City Playhouse, Keegan Theatre, Adventure Theatre, Ford’s Theatre, and American University, guiding writers, actors, and students toward their best work.

I am passionate about developing new plays and nurturing artists through education, direction, and leadership, with a track record of award-winning work and impactful stage readings and productions.
