Associate Artistic Director

Todd Kreidler is the Associate Artistic Director of True Colors Theatre Company. His play Jumbo Small was part of the company’s New Play Reading Series, Spring 2006.

As Dramaturg of August Wilson’s Gem Of The Ocean on Broadway, Todd began working with Director Kenny Leon. That relationship continues as they shepherd August Wilson’s final play, Radio Golf, through several regional theater productions toward Broadway next spring. Todd is honored to have been invited to be part of True Colors, a company founded on principles of high purpose and commitment to the search for truth and clarity. He is also thrilled for the opportunity to continue working with Kenny, a collaboration he treasures.

Todd is currently Associate Artist for this year’s August Wilson Season at Off-Broadway’s Signature Theatre where he will work closely on the revival of King Hedley II. He began working with August Wilson during the 1999 world premiere of King Hedley II at Pittsburgh Public Theater and they worked together from then on in theaters around the country including Seattle Repertory Theatre, Huntington Theatre Company, Mark Taper Forum, Goodman Theatre, Yale Repertory Theatre, Baltimore Center Stage and The Kennedy Center. Todd also directed and developed August Wilson’s one-man show, How I Learned What I Learned, and worked with him developing the screenplay adaptation of Fences.

Todd spent three seasons at Pittsburgh Public Theater, where he directed Macbeth and Twelfth Night for their Young Company. He was a freelance drama critic for The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and a critic fellow at The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center’s National Critics Institute in 1997.
