Sean King - Playwright | Executive Producer

Sean King has been acting on and off for 40 years.  Notable roles include Harold in Lyle Kessler’s “Orphans”  Ricky Roma in “Glengarry Glen Ross” and Pato Dooley in “The Beauty Queen of Leenane.” Most recently, Sean starred in the short film “First Time Long Time” which premiered at the Chelsea Film Festival in 2022. 

His first play “Airport and the Strange Package” sprang from his experiences as an Approved Observer for the Playwright and Directors Unit of the Actors Studio.  Each Wednesday for five years, Sean and mentor Jim Bonney would discuss in depth that evenings play on the long ride home to Huntington.  Emotional discussions of what worked in the play and more importantly what didn’t, served as his Master Class. Sean is eternally grateful for the education provided by Jim and PDU.  Sean was awarded best actor in Long Island by Broadway World 2014, 2015, and in 2016 

If the axiom “Learning by Osmosis” has validity, Sean hopes to prove it with this production.
