Joe Zarrow is a playwright and actor. His Chicago public school satire Principal Principle was workshopped at the Brown/Trinity Playwrights Repertory before Stage Left and Theatre Seven of Chicago coproduced the world premiere (Joseph Jefferson Award Nomination for Best New Work). Principal Principle, which set attendance records for its producers, has gone on to be seen in cities ranging from Atlanta, Georgia to Auckland, New Zealand. Joe's plays have also been produced by Walkabout Theatre (The Pigeons), LiveWire Chicago (Everythingaoke), Tympanic Theatre (Roll), Broken Nose Theatre (Kodak Shirley), and Collaboraction (Overnight Parking Ban in Effect). As an actor, Joe has appeared on Chicago PD, and other favorite roles include Jeffrey in The Totalitarians (Theatre Nova), Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Sankofa), and Dad in Walk Two Moons (Adventure Stage). Joe is a proud graduate of The School at Steppenwolf.
