Kirrin Tubo is a NYC based Freelance Theatre Artist.  She has adapted her skills to alternate between the roles of an actor and stage manager, among others. She is intrigued by works that explore the metaphysical, the surreal, and ritual practices; as well as stories that inspect the possibilities of our collective future, that expand the representation of black experiences and stories that guide audiences to foster and hold community at the forefront. This is the truth-seeking form that guides her from project to project, collaborations, and defines her developing artistry.

Collaborations

Kirrin and Ebony have worked as creative and strategic collaborators since 2019. Before Kirrin joined JPS as administrative liaison, she served as the Production Stage Manager for 125th and FREEdom and performed in an early iteration of In The Name Of The Mother Tree at The Shed.
