I'm Hawley, a theatre-maker based in Brooklyn.
My pronouns are They/Them.


I've been a theatre-maker since childhood, making masks out of leaves & choreographing dances to my mom’s Enya CDs. Or wrangling the neighbor kids into elaborate large-scale immersive chalk cities.

Graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, the New Studio on Broadway, I have been making my artistic way in NYC for a decade now – wow – exploring the industry from as many viewpoints as I can – commercial acting, not-for-profit directing, underground producing, solo/collaborative playwriting, music-making, etc.

This thing we do, the whole “called-to-be-a-story-teller” thing, sounds so hokey but it’s true. At the risk of sounding hokey (though I think you’ll understand me), I would not be who I am today without theatre, without stories. It’s what gives my life meaning & shape. That’s an anciently powerful thing.

The projects I tend to work on are explorations of change – of all sizes, tempos, rhythms – a theme to which I feel repeatedly drawn. My curiosity & passion are the tools of my purpose. I cherish rigor. I am learning more & more every day to cherish silliness. It’s true I was a serious kid. I am serious now about being a kid again.

I seek out communal collaborations, because I deeply believe theatre is a team sport* – we can’t do this work alone or in a vacuum. No one is alone.

All it takes is invested, committed interest, & let me tell you, when it comes to what we do: I’m interested.

Are you?

*Julia Cameron (author of The Artist’s Way) calls creativity “a tribal endeavor”; I wholeheartedly agree.
