Ethan Stark is a queer, neurodivergent playwright based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He also directs, acts, artist admins, stage hands, production assistants, assistant stage manages, and occasionally will direct and edit music videos and short films. Basically, he is obsessed with the creative process and loves making cool stuff with cool people no matter what his role is. He was an artist in residence with One Trunk Theatre. There, he wrote and directed the first iteration of his play "Sinking Ship." He continued seeking out mentorship through Creative Manitoba. His playwriting debut at the 2023 Winnipeg Fringe (A Work in Progress) was awarded the Harry S. Rintoul Honourable mention award. The next year he made his fringe producing and directing debut with new original play, The Ethan in the Room, which was once again shortlisted for the Harry S. Rintoul Award and given five stars by Winnipeg Free Press’s Ben Waldman. He was also a 2024 participant in Real Wheel Theatre’s playwriting circle and most recently assistant stage managed for We Quit Theatre’s newest show Glory. His work often features casual queer representation and explores the role of vulnerability and honest conversation in healing relationships both on a personal and societal level, often through the lens of magical realism.
