Ben Ferber

Background

About Ben Ferber

I'm a technophilic playwright/performance artist—my work is about online communities, the tech industry, and present-day dystopia.(I joke that every time I write a play it predicts something awful that happens online—this is not as much a joke as "something that is a verifiable fact and deeply disturbs me.") I write, direct, design (sound and projection), and perform—I'm a versatile, eclectic generative artist. I'm a theater industry professional with years of producing and admin experience (both with big nonprofits, small companies, and indie work). I've worked in theater media as well, running a YouTube theater review show, a popular New York theater podcast, and generally being in-the-know about the industry and its goings-on. I'm also a tech professional—I've managed projects, internal process, and software at my current job, and whenever I work with arts companies I'm the go-to tech person.
