Qui Nguyen is a screenwriter, director, playwright, and Co-Founder of the OBIE-winning Vampire Cowboys. He and his work, known for its use of pop-culture, stage violence, puppetry, and multimedia, has been called "Culturally Savvy Comedy", "Tour de Force Theatre", and “Infectious Fun” by the NY Times, TimeOut, and Variety.
Amidst the early months of the COVID-19 crisis, he adapted the script of his popular play, She Kills Monsters, for virtual performances, thereby encouraging and allowing students and theatre programs nationwide to continue to explore and create theatre—even in a virtual manner. Our Region 3 Selection Committee wishes to acknowledge his efforts to support schools and students in such a time of crisis and uncertainty for live theatre.
