It is perfectly okay to write garbage—as long as you edit brilliantly.

Father Flynn in Doubt

Brenden Dahl is an actor, playwright, improviser, deviser, and current high school student. He is a resident playwright at Philadelphia Young Playwrights, a member of MacGuffin Theater and Film's improv troupe This Side Up, and a non-equity film and stage actor based out of Philadelphia.

To quote every artist statement ever written, Brenden's work is primarily focused on the telling of stories that interest him, whatever form they may take. He has always been fascinated by stories and language, from creating characters and dictating complex narratives to his patient parents and babysitters, to writing plays and short stories throughout high school. He states that his work uses heightened or fantastical realities to reveal truths about human nature. He believes that art is the purest vessel to not only entertain and inform, but also inspire change. Or something like that.

​Sometimes he just acts like an idiot to make people laugh.
