KUNAL’S MISSION
Theatre is a space where we gather to witness and explore the actions of others. Its magic lies in narrowing the distance between us, in one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it also feel this way to you?
Kunal is dedicated to creating theatre that:
• Courageously tells stories with authenticity and joy
• Illuminates uncharted facets of the human experience with heart and soul
• Amplifies the voices and creations of those historically oppressed and overlooked
Kunal Prasad is a Theatre Artist and will direct Cal State East Bay’s upcoming production of ‘Metamorphoses,’ by Mary Zimmerman.
Kunal was a Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation Fellow on ‘Wizard of Oz’ at American Conservatory Theater, and has an interest in the intersection of poetry, movement and delving into the heart of a story with joy, curiosity, and openness. He directed a devised workshop of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ with ACT’s Young Conservatory and has led and directed workshops and residencies at The Magic Theatre, Bay View Opera House, and San Francisco Shakespeare Festival. As an Actor, Kunal is featured in the indie film ‘Gone in the Night,’ starring Winona Ryder and other credits include: ‘Wives,’ (Aurora Theatre Company) ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns,’ (A.C.T.) ‘Taylor Mac: A 24-Decade History of Popular Music,’ (SF Curran) and ‘Hedda Gabler,’ (The Cutting Ball Theater.)
