Paul Slade Smith is a writer and actor based in Brooklyn, New York. As a Connecticut native (and Conn College alum), he is thrilled to have THE OUTSIDER presented here at Westport Country Playhouse – and beyond thrilled that his newest play, THEATRE PEOPLE, which received a Script In Hand reading here last year, will have its East Coast premiere at the Playhouse in March of 2025. Paul’s three plays have collectively had nearly 500 productions. His first play, UNNECESSARY FARCE, has been produced in Australia, Austria, Canada, Great Britain, Iceland, Japan, Singapore and Switzerland – and translated into French, German, Swiss German and Icelandic. As an actor, Paul was most recently seen as Reverend Crisparkle in Goodspeed’s hugely entertaining production of THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD. In New York, he has appeared in the original Broadway casts of FINDING NEVERLAND, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, and the Lincoln Center revival of MY FAIR LADY. Following its Broadway run, Paul starred as Willy Wonka in the Australian premiere of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. His TV credits include “The Blacklist,” “The Other Two” and “The Gilded Age.”
