I'm Hawley, a theatre-maker based in Brooklyn.
My pronouns are They/Them.
I've been a theatre-maker since childhood, making masks out of leaves & choreographing dances to my mom’s Enya CDs. Or wrangling the neighbor kids into elaborate large-scale immersive chalk cities.
Graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, the New Studio on Broadway, I have been making my artistic way in NYC for a decade now – wow – exploring the industry from as many viewpoints as I can – commercial acting, not-for-profit directing, underground producing, solo/collaborative playwriting, music-making, etc.
Additionally, incredibly proud to announce I have been accepted as a 2025 NYCLU Artist Ambassador, joining other New York artists & activists alongside the ACLU, a vital organization, to provide story-telling skills & community support to further our nation’s founding unalienable principles & basic civil rights.
Learn more about the NYCLU & how you too can take action & make a difference in your community’s/country’s fight to defend its civil liberties.

At the risk of sounding hokey (though I think you’ll understand me), I would not be who I am today without theatre, without stories. This thing we do – the whole called-to-be-a-story-teller thing – is what gives my life meaning & shape. That’s an anciently powerful thing.
The projects I tend to work on are explorations of change – of all sizes, tempos, rhythms – a theme to which I feel repeatedly drawn. My curiosity & passion are the tools of my purpose. I cherish rigor. I am learning more & more every day to cherish silliness. It’s true I was a serious kid. I am serious now about being a kid again.
I seek out communal collaborations, because I deeply believe theatre is a team sport* – we can’t do this work alone or in a vacuum. No one is alone.
All it takes is invested, committed interest, & let me tell you, when it comes to what we do: I’m interested.
Are you?
*Julia Cameron (author of The Artist’s Way) calls creativity “a tribal endeavor”; I wholeheartedly agree.
