About Gregory
Gregory Crafts is an award-winning multi-hyphenate creative artist, with more than twenty-five years of experience as an actor, playwright, director, designer, and theatrical producer under his belt. After graduating from Emerson College in Boston, MA with a Bachelor’s in Theatre Studies in 2003, Greg migrated to Los Angeles, California. He currently resides in North Hollywood, CA with his wife, Jenn, and their three cats.
In 2008, Greg co-founded Theatre Unleashed, a 501(c)(3) non-profit theatre company located in North Hollywood, CA, and currently serves as its Managing Director, where he oversees the company’s operations. Greg is also a member of SAG-AFTRA, Actors' Equity, the Dramatists Guild, the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights, an Ovation Voter, and a founding board member of the Theatrical Producers League of Los Angeles.
In 2016, Greg and his wife Jenn teamed up to form a live event venue management company. On January 1st, 2017, the pair took control of studio/stage, a unique performance space located in L.A's KoreaTown. Now working under the banner of The StageCrafts, Jenn and Greg are actively seeking new venues to add to their portfolio. Recently, Greg has been named the venue representative to the board of directors of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
With what little free time he has, Greg enjoys supporting local theatre, reading historical fiction, shotgunning sci-fi shows on Netflix, playing video games, designing websites, participating in 5k mud runs, collecting comic books, playing Dungeons & Dragons, and practicing martial arts. He also nurses an unhealthy obsession with the Boston Red Sox.

My Goals for May & June
It’s May, so things are f’ing crazy right now. Between studio/stage and The Hobgoblin Playhouse, I’m designing lights for approximately 25 separate productions this month.
Fringe is around the corner!
It’s May 1st! … What does that mean?Well, besides no more dank N’Sync memes until next April, tickets for the 2019 Hollywood Fringe Festival go on sale today! And this year, I’m working on not one, not two, but three separate productions!
Behind the Scenes of Ada and the Engine
This week, Greg takes us behind the scenes of Ada and the Engine, now running at studio/stage! Ada and the Engine is a new play by Lauren Gunderson about Ada Lovelace, the mother of the modern computer, and her relationship with inventor Charles Babbage.
