Joe Wood
artistic director & co-founder
Joe Wood (they/them) is a NYC-based actor, writer, director, and acting teacher with a BFA in Music Theatre from the University at Buffalo and advanced Meisner training at the Maggie Flanigan Studio. Joe believes that in order for the theatre to be the driving force of change it is meant to be, it must be paired with action. Through Ephemeral’s mission, they seek to transform the audience’s experience by making them active participants in the change in the world that each production calls for. Joe’s goal with The Ephemeral Players is to create transformative theatre that is accessible to all New Yorkers, as art belongs to us all.
