ATC debut. Arun’s first play, SEQUENCE, won the Alberta Playwriting Competition Grand Prize, Joanne Woodward/Paul Newman Award, Betty Mitchell Award, and has been produced across North America. Arun is also the recipient of the Blacklist/Warby Parker Writer’s Vision Grant (LA) and is appreciative of the support in developing HEIST. Arun is grateful to Chad Rabinovitz (Constellation Stage and Screen, Indiana) for making him write HEIST, to Matt August (ATC) for his belief and directorial brilliance, and to the incredible team at ATC for bringing this show to life. By day, Arun is a University of Toronto trained ophthalmologist and feels compelled to share embarrassing stories (from both worlds!) to medical students through his popular presentation, MEDISCENES: Moments, Mistakes, and Lessons Learned from a Life in Medicine and the Arts. Arun lives in Calgary, Canada with his muses Roopa, Taro, Siya, and (woof) Zephy. www.arunlakra.com. IG: @alohalakra. X: @arunlakraOU.
