Marty Chandler

Marty Chandler is a playwright, performer and collaborative theatremaker originally from the suburbs of Seattle. He is a senior at Yale University, where he is a double major in Theatre Studies and Psychology. His work often falls at the intersection of these two majors, drawing upon these interests to portray and explore the human experience. As an improviser and comedian, and as a Filipino and queer artist, he finds himself bringing light and humor to unique and previously unseen stories, emotions, and ideas. His past works, including his play Schema, have been produced and performed at Yale, and his play A Butterfly in a Barbershop was selected for the Yale Playwrights Festival. Marty also has served as a member of the Orchard Project Core Company, where he collaborated with professional playwrights and devised theatre ensembles, in addition to developing his own projects.
