Francisco Mendoza
Francisco Mendoza (Playwright) was born in the wine region of Mendoza, Argentina, and ever since he was a kid he was passionate about storytelling, dreaming of traveling the world like his literary heroes – a dream that became real when he was twelve and his family relocated to Brazil. After graduating from Journalism school, he received a fellowship at the Tisch School of the Arts’ Dramatic Writing MFA program and, moving countries a second time, Francisco is now pursuing a writing career in New York. His work spans plays, TV, screenplays, a full season of a podcast, several short stories, and a few magazine articles, as well as his first novel. He’s a co-founder of the Immigrant Theatermakers Advocates initiative, which seeks to create a more immigrant-welcoming theater industry.
