Alec Silberblatt is a playwright and actor originally from Pittsburgh, PA. His play RYAN'S PUB, TRIVIA NIGHT will receive its world premiere in fall of 2025 at Third Avenue Playworks, was a semifinalist for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival, and was workshopped at the 2023 Seven Devils Playwrights Conference. A TELL-TALE HEART, commissioned by Pittsburgh Public Theater, premiered online during the pandemic lockdown, and in 2023 received a live, sold-out world premiere run at Pittsburgh Public Theater in which he starred. His play THE VAMPIRE will be workshopped and performed as part of Theatre Aspen’s 2025 Solo Flights Festival. He acted in and co-directed a filmed version of his play THE MON VALLEY MEDIUM for The Studios of Key West which is still available to rent and stream online. He was a finalist for the Road Theatre Summer Playwrights Festival, and his plays have been developed by Theatre Aspen, Third Avenue Playworks, Curious Theatre Company, Pittsburgh Public Theater, among others. He is an alum of Pittsburgh Public Theater's Playwrights Collective. When not working on theater, he's a senior interpretive guide at the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum.

I seek to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Make the mundane poetic. Make heroes out of the flawed folks you meet at the local bar.
I write plays that make you sit forward, cling to the edge of your seat, and laugh. Tales that twist and turn like the Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. Stories worth the price of a theater ticket...and parking, a baby sitter, dinner and drinks.
I write stuff that can be done anywhere for any budget. They have simple sets with an emphasis on the oral tradition of theater, great dialogue, and the love of a good yarn.
