Bryan Austin

Bryan Austin is a storyteller, performer, and writer whose work lives at the intersection of history, myth, and the quiet spaces of the human heart. Over the past decade, he has brought stories to life for audiences ranging from Supreme Court justices and attorney generals to thousands of students across the country, collaborating with leading museums to create immersive, original theatrical experiences.

His work has been featured in TIME Magazine and The New York Times, where critics have called his performances “some of the most innovative theatre happening in America.” His career in professional theatre has spanned Shakespeare, puppetry, acrobatics, trapeze, and arts education initiatives for underserved communities and individuals experiencing incarceration.

Bryan is the co-author of They Don’t Teach This in Law School and the creator and host of the Let’s Be Frank podcast, as well as co-host of The Loser’s Club with Primary Source Media.

Across genres, his work explores resilience, recovery, fatherhood, failure, mercy, and the redemptive power of stories.

He believes in art that heals.

Bryan lives on the East Coast, tends a garden he is still learning to master, fills his shelves with more books than he can read, and counts adventures with his brilliant daughter.
