Todd Kreidler has recently completed writing the stage adaptation of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner to open on Broadway this spring, directed by Kenny Leon. His play Jumbo Small was part of True Colors' Annual New Play Reading Series. As Dramaturg of August Wilson's Gem Of The Ocean on Broadway, Todd began working with Director Kenny Leon. That relationship continued as they shepherded August Wilson's final play, Radio Golf, through several regional theater productions, opening on Broadway last spring.

Todd was the Associate Artistic Director of August Wilson's 20th Century at the Kennedy Center this spring and directed Joe Turner's Come And Gone for the festival. He began working with August Wilson during the 1999 world premiere of King Hedley II at Pittsburgh Public Theater and they worked together from then on, developing plays in theaters around the country: Huntington Theatre Company, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Mark Taper Forum, Goodman Theatre, Yale Repertory Theatre, CenterStage in Baltimore, McCarter Theatre Center and The Kennedy Center. He directed and developed August Wilson's one-man show How I Learned What I Learned and also worked with Mr. Wilson developing the screenplay adaptation of Fences. Todd spent three seasons at Pittsburgh Public Theater where he directed Macbeth and Twelfth Night for their Young Company. He is honored to be part of True Colors, a company founded on an embracing vision and commitment to the search for truth and clarity.
