Who is Klehotas Tshyre?

Klehotas Tshyre

He's an African-American playwright who does what AAPEX advocates for all playwrights: Get pro-active with your career. As the founder of the Spellbound Conservatory in Harlem, he is in essence producing his own work (see below from his Facebook page) which is prolific, sounds exciting and fun:

BLOOD ON THE STAGE FLOOR…? Bet It’s
Playwright Director
Klehotas Tshyre

If there’s blood on the stage floor, a pistol under the sofa cushion stage left and a body upstage fatally stabbed or better yet beheaded then chances are it’s a Klehotas Tshyre play presented by his very own Spellbound Conservatory (the production company that produces his work. ) Essentially a writer of black mystery melodrama and sci-fi fantasy plays the works of Tshyre is as bizarre as it gets.

A resident of the Harlem community Tshyre is A 31 year veteran of the American theater. His recent works include Chastity of Hearts, The Way Knights Fall, Gwendolyn’s Cellar, Lyonns in the Fire and Memories Don’t Die to name a few.

Actors in Tshyre’s plays must have high energy and a strong emotional apparatus. Often the plays are three acts with strong often lengthy dialogue, intense stage combat, including stunts (one woman was thrown down the steps in Chastity of Hearts), others characters are shot, stabbed, chopped up, burned, thrown out windows and get this…even eaten. But it’s not about the violence Tshyre’s says.

“It’s the social dilemma. We live in a pathological society. But there is another side to my dramas.”
