Andrew Kushnir

Andrew Kushnir (born 1980) is a Canadian playwright and actor.[1] He is most noted as co-creator with Damien Atkins and Paul Dunn of The Gay Heritage Project,[2] a theatrical show dramatizing aspects of LGBT history which was shortlisted for the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play in 2014.[3]

The artistic director of Project Humanity, a theatrical organization which uses the arts to raise social awareness, Kushnir specializes in verbatim theatre which addresses social issues by making theatrical presentations out of the real testimonies of people impacted by social issues.[1] His plays have included Captain Princess,[4] foto, The Middle Place,[5] Small Axe,[6] Wormwood[7] and Towards Youth: A Play on Radical Hope.[8] Towards Youth was published in 2022 by University of Toronto Press.[9]

He is currently playwright in residence at Tarragon Theatre.[1] In 2023 he directed a production of Nick Green's Casey and Diana, a dramatization of the 1991 visit of Diana, Princess of Wales to Casey House, Toronto's HIV/AIDS hospice, for the Stratford Festival.[10]
