Harrison David Rivers (born September 11, 1981) is an African-American playwright. Rivers' work has won him the Relentless Award[1], a GLAAD Media Award, a McKnight Fellowship for Playwrights,[2] a Jerome Foundation Many Voices Fellowship,[3] an Emerging Artist of Color Fellowship, a Van Lier Fellowship and the New York Stage & Film's Founders Award.[4] He is based in Saint Paul, Minnesota and is married to Christopher Bineham[5].

Life and career

Rivers was born in Manhattan, Kansas. He attended Manhattan High School, where he was active in the music and theater programs. He earned a B.A. in American Studies and Dance & Drama from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio (2004) and an M.F.A in Playwriting from the Columbia University School of Arts in New York City (2009), where he received the John Golden Playwriting Award.

While still a student at Columbia, Rivers was selected to participate in the inaugural "24 Hour Plays: Old Vic New Voices" event at the Atlantic Theatre.[6] He also wrote a short play for The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway (2009) called “And It Seems To Me A Very Good Sign.”[7] His cast included Sam Rockwell, Naomi Watts, John Krasinski and Amber Tamblyn.[8]

After graduation, Rivers received an Emerging Artist of Color Fellowship from New York Theatre Workshop and a Van Lier Fellowship from New Dramatists.

Rivers was a member of P73's Interstate 73 Writers' Group and the Emerging Writers Group at the Public Theater (2011–13).[9]

Rivers' play "When Last We Flew" was selected for the Sundance Theatre Lab in 2010. The play went on to be produced in the New York International Fringe Festival where it won awards for Outstanding Play and Outstanding Performance (for Rory Lipede).[10] The play was invited to be a part of the Fringe Encore Series. “When Last We Flew” also won the 2011 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding New York Theatre: Off Off Broadway.[11]

In 2014, Rivers was awarded a Jerome Many Voices Fellowship from the Playwrights' Center[12] and relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has subsequently received a McKnight Fellowship for Playwrights (2015–16)[13] and is currently a Core Writer at the Playwrights’ Center, where he is member of the Board of Directors.[14]

Rivers received New York Stage & Film’s 2015 Founder’s Award and in 2016, he was the Playwright-in-Residence at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.[15]

In 2017, Rivers' play Sweet from National Black Theatre received four nominations at the 45th AUDELCO Awards[16] including: Dramatic Production of the Year, Outstanding Ensemble Performance, Director/Dramatic Production and Playwright. The 45th annual Vivian Robinson AUDELCO Awards recognizes excellence in Black Theatre. His play Where Storms are Born, produced by the Williamstown Theatre Festival, won an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award (2017).[17]

Rivers' play the bandaged place won the 2018 Relentless Award,[1] a prize created in honor of the late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.

During the 2018-19 school year, Rivers is serving as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Drama at Kenyon College.[18]
