Kai Elijah Hamilton (Playwright, Blackberry Winter) Having been born and
raised in the mountains of Western North Carolina, I tend to embrace the world
very differently. I hope to inspire others to be the best version of you possible and to never turn away from
your God-given talent even in life’s darkest hour. As a young boy, I realized I
was a poet—with that, gradually came theatre and film. After I received my Bachelors Degree from
Western Carolina University, my life went down a very different path that
allowed me to stay close to my beloved mother during her final years. During
that time, I became Artistic Director at Hendersonville Community Theatre,
which was close to home. While there, I won awards for acting—The Glass Menagerie and directing—A Raisin in the Sun. Most recently, my play The Sleepwalker was an Official Selection
of the 2016 Asheville National 10-Minute Play Festival. Now, here I am, deeply
honored to share BLACKBERRY WINTER
with you. I hope it haunts you as much as it does me.
BLACKBERRY WINTER

THE COMMUTERS or
A CAUTIONARY TALE OF THE PORT AUTHORITY, A Musical
By Gil Varod, Caleb Damschroder & Kit Goldstein Grant
Christopher Michaels (Producer)
When a recently-sacked MTA executive wanders the port Authority Bus Terminal after midnight, the plaster “Commuters” sculpture comes alive to warn him how he is to pay for his subway-related sins. A one-act horror musical that played to uproarious laughter during its initial reading at Lincoln Center’s “Across A Crowded Room” festival.
