A Conversation with Playwright in Residence Nathan Louis Jackson and Director Kyle Hatley

HowlRound: Nathan Louis Jackson is the playwright in residence at Kansas City Repertory Theatre (KC Rep) in Kansas City, Missouri as part of the Mellon Foundation’s Resident Playwright Program. Kyle Hatley has directed two of Nathan’s plays at the KC Rep (Broke-ology and When I Come to Die) and recently stepped down as associate artistic director to relocate to Chicago. The KC Rep has hired two new staff members: actor Jason Chanos to replace Kyle, and Marissa Wolf (former artistic director of Crowded Fire Theater in San Francisco) as a director of new works/artistic associate. Kyle will remain a leader in the residency with the title of director in residence, and he will direct Nathan’s upcoming new work Sticky Traps.
