PJ O'NEAL
My name is PJ O'Neal and I am the founder and artistic director of Studio Emcee. My passion for many disciplines made it possible for me to create a space where my knowledge and creativity can thrive. I am a playwright, food writer, educator, and performer. This makes me a multi-hyphenate who uses their talents to be a storyteller. I call New York City my home, and is my muse for all things I do. My solo play 'Code Red' had its world premier at the Borderlight Fringe Festival in 2023 in the Cleveland Playhouse. My play, 'Stinger' is currently being developed at The TANK NYC. I have been featured in national publications such as Food & Wine, Bon Appetit Magazine, and Allrecipes. As a queer, Black creative who spent over a decade in foraging a worthy portfolio, I am proud my expertise, uniqueness, and talent can be shared with the world.
