Christopher Chen, Playwright

Commencement Speaker: Christopher Chen

Christopher Chen is a San Francisco–based playwright whose works examine the hidden psychological patterns beneath complex systems of power.

His plays include Caught (Play Company, InterAct Theatre), The Headlands (LCT3/Lincoln Center), Passage (Soho Rep., Wilma Theater), The Hundred Flowers Project (Crowded Fire Theater), and You Mean to Do Me Harm (SF Playhouse). Chen holds a BA from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MFA in playwriting from San Francisco State University.
