Hunter Abal is an actor, director and playwright originating from Kuwait currently based in the Los Angeles Area. He is a proud graduate of the BFA Acting program at California Institute of the Arts and will be working on getting his masters in directing at the same school in the fall. He recently made his directorial debut at the REDCAT NOW Festival with a play he co-wrote called Kubrick’s Aryan Papers, a play about the film that Stanley Kubrick never made. He is the co-artistic producer of the arts collective Eloquent Peasants. He is incredibly grateful to be bringing Khalil Gibran to life in this wonderful play, and would like to thank his parents, Avalon Greenberg-Call and Transformation Theatre. “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” ~Rumi www.hunterabal.com www.eloquentpeasants.com
