Devin Jackson Randall
Writer, Playwright, Performer
Philadelphia, PA
Devin Jackson Randall is a playwright, producer, and performer based in Philadelphia. His childhood love of gay media, fantasy, and theatre have led to an adulthood of sharing queer and black speculative fiction any way he can. Devin has self-produced several works such as a 2018 production of Lionel Questions the Universe; several readings; performing a one-man show in Philly’s SoLow Fest 2018; a Philly Fringe Festival 2019 production of Whine & Waffles; and his “Salon” series (in which he provides spaces for Philly writers to network and share their works). In addition to his own work, Devin is a member of Philadelphia’s The Foundry, has worked with the New Freedom Theater, and thrived as an intern with PlayPenn’s 2017 Summer Conference. You can follow him on Twitter & Instagram @DevJackRan.
