Bruce Walsh’s plays include Grown-Ass Louis, Berserker, and Prospect Hill. Since receiving his MFA in Playwriting from Indiana University in 2017, his work has been produced around the country, winning the Heideman Award, the Gary Garrison National Ten Minute Play Award, and the Maxim Mazumdar New Play Competition. Bruce lives in a rural county in Pennsylvania. (The 7-Eleven in town features hitching posts in the parking lot.) He has an eight-year-old son, which keeps him in that part of the country. Since receiving his MFA, he has held the following jobs, in order of difficulty: 1. Stay-at-home dad 2. House painter 3. Short-order cook 4. College professor. These workplaces inform all of his plays; they contribute mightily to how he sees the world and his place in it. In a previous life, he was a longtime arts reporter and editor for the Philadelphia Metro and City Paper, before the newspaper industry tottered off the edge of the abyss it had been contemplating for decades. Professionally, Bruce tends to specialize in careers that peaked in the late nineteenth century, which has produced a lifetime of disconcerting anxiety but, like an intricately nuanced novella by Henry James, is not without its charms. He currently teaches literature, writing, and theater at Messiah University and Elizabethtown College. He has recently been a Finalist for the Terrence McNally Award and the National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center.
