Lyam White - Director, A Series of Small Cataclysms
Lyam White has been acting in Seattle theater for over 20 years; he's been writing, performing, and tempting gravity with Northwest physical theater stalwarts UMO Ensemble for 15. But despite dozens of shows with Open Circle, Greenstage, Theater Schmeater, 14/48 Projects, Seattle Theatre Works, The Wrecking Crew, Fisher Ensemble, and others, his last decade as a kickboxing instructor and personal trainer may be most relevant to his crude attempt at directing. We shall see!
