People and History

Cavan Hallman's writing has been performed in NYC, New Orleans, Chicago, Ireland, on screen, and on tour with the Windy City Players. His touring plays, which he also directs, have been performed over 20,000 times for nearly 5 million students across the United States. Cavan directed the world premiere of the musical Pictures of Marilyn at the National WWII Museum, named one of the ten best musicals of 2016 by The New Orleans Times-Picayune.

He recently directed the Iowa premieres of Exit Strategy, Red Speedo, Luna Gale, and There Is A Happiness That Morning Is for Mirrorbox Theatre at CSPS. In Cedar Rapids he has directed for Playtime Poppy's Summer Theatre Adventure; performed his solo show at RAYGUN, and worked as a writer and performer for SPT's Tales From the Writer's Room. 

Cavan is a Resident Artist with The CRY HAVOC Company, and the Artistic Director for Mirrorbox Theatre. He has an MFA in Playwriting from the University of New Orleans, for whom he has also taught writing and acting, both on campus and for their study abroad program in Ireland. The only things he likes more than the Orlando Magic and the play Fences are his son, his dog, Pearl, and his wife, Katie, who deserves endless thanks for her intelligence, love, and support.
