Hans Meyer, Artistic Director, immediate theatre project

Hans had been directing and acting for ten years when he figured out that immediate theatre project had to happen. After earning his Theatre Studies degree from Guilford College, he spent time in his hometown of Atlanta, taking on the roles of Hamlet and Romeo and directing The Merchant of Venice with Theatre Noble. In 2002 he was asked to return to Guilford College as a Visiting Director to mount a workshop production of The Glass Menagerie, which he later remounted as the critically acclaimed inaugural production of both immediate theatre project and North Carolina Stage Company’s Catalyst Series. Hans has worked with New Jersey Shakespeare Festival, New York's Metropolitan Youth Theatre, and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago at Prop Thtr. He is currently developing Common People, a new rock musical based on Britpop band Pulp's landmark, Mercury Award-winning album Different Class. Huge and endless thanks are due to the fabulous Flynn-McIvers and North Carolina Stage Company.
