Margo Hall is an award-winning activist, educator, actor, director, playwright, and newly-appointed Artistic Director of the Lorraine Hansberry Theater, San Francisco’s premier African American Theater. Originally from Detroit, Hall has been an active director and performer in the Bay Area for over 30 years. She recently directed How I Learned What I Learned at the Marin Theater Company and BARBECUE for SF Playhouse, as well as acted in Ah, Wilderness! for the American Conservatory Theater. She was also recently seen in the films BLINDSPOTTING with Oakland native Daveed Diggs and All Day and a Night on Netflix. Her most recent on-stage credit is Exit Strategy at the Aurora Theater. Margo Hall has also won many awards for her outstanding work, including the Glickman Award for best new play in the Bay Area for her play The People’s Temple, featured at Berkeley Repertory Theater in 2005.
Margo devotes herself not only to the Theater, but her community as well. She is a founding member of Campo Santo, a multicultural San Francisco-based theater company that collaborates with local theater artists to put on new works for Bay Area audiences. She is also a theater professor at UC Berkeley and Chabot College, where her mission is to support and mentor young actors and playwrights who are discovering their voice. Through her devotion to the dynamic world of theater, her students, and her theater community, Margo has been able to enrich not only herself, but the Bay Area at large. We are very excited to have the unique opportunity of interviewing someone who is so passionate about the Theater!
