Josh is a Princess Grace Award winner and received his MFA from UC - San Diego and his BA from Yale University. Before he did any of those things, Josh was born in New Jersey and grew up in London where he had a brief but mostly unembarrassing career as a child actor. After graduate school, while living in San Diego, Josh was an adjunct professor in the UC - San Diego Department of Theatre & Dance and was the co-founder and co-artistic director of THE TRIP, whose final full production, fittingly titled This Might Be The End, premiered in NYC in 2018. With THE TRIP, Josh once directed a site-specific evening of short plays in a tattoo shop during each performance of which an audience member was (willingly!) tattooed. A dual citizen of the United States and the United Kingdom and a proud member of SDC, Josh lives in Brooklyn with his wife, dramaturg Sarah Lunnie, their three children, and their dog.
