​
Matt's full name is Matthew Isaac Minnicino (he/him)

Matt's plays are about Now and Then, and When They Get Together and Make Out

Matt is a queer, Jewish so-and-so who lives in land originally belonging to the Lenni-Lenape


He has won and lost some awards and things, because there are a lot of awards in the world

His work has been done at some neat places, like:
an art gallery basement in Chinatown, a mansion on Governor's Island, a grove in Central Park, a cottage on a lake in Maine, an old fire station on the Lower East Side, an abandoned hospital in Williamsburg, and apartments in all five boroughs, high schools, colleges, elementary schools, 10+ states, and Ireland

He likes to adapt things, and has adapted a lot of things, including Chekhov (4 times), Homer, Strindberg, Ibsen, Gorky, Tolstoy, Rostand, Moliere, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Von Kleist, poems by Rilke, the Old Testament, and more. He's created texts based on the art of Klimt, Magritte, John Singer Sargent, Lyle Ashton Harris, Helen Frankenthaler, and at least three texts for dance


Matt can fit into a television set (if it has nothing in it) 

Matt has an MFA, but still doesn't know what to do with it

Matt has taught 6 year olds how to build with legos
16 year olds how to perform Shakespeare
21 year olds how to write plays
and 56 year olds how to speak English

As you read this, Matt is doing something

We invite you to use your imagination to decode this riddle
(Keep it clean)
