Erinina Marie Ness: Artistic Director
Erinina graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 2005 with a concentration in writing, theater direction and language studies. She has also studied at Greensboro College in the visual arts and perform-
ance, and completed a performance intensive at Oxford School
of Drama in the summer of 2001. Primarily interested in directing, writing and 'performance art' or 'physical theater,' Erinina formed Mir Productions in August of 2006 to create a space for the development of talented interdisciplinary artists. She works a lot, but loves to play and hopes that you will join us in some of the fun!

Joyce Wu: Literary Manager
Joyce studied with acclaimed playwright OyamO and graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in English Literature. Nytheatre.com described one of her plays "Other People," which was produced at the historical Wow Cafe Theater, as a "hellacious amount of thought-provoking fun." This was a great achievement for Wu until she realized that the critic had also used the phrase to laud the film "Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed." She has relatively few other achievements to list and is coasting on a description of her in "Backstage" as "a promising young playwright who's won some minor awards." She is currently working with her therapist on ego issues with mixed results while she writes and seeks out literary talent for Mir.
