Erik Ramsey

Erik Ramsey is a playwright from Wyoming. He tends to write about faith because he was simultaneously raised Baptist and Catholic in a setting where the high plains wind is clearly the one true God and riding a rusted-out 1972 Suzuki 185 dirt bike is the highest form of prayer. He is currently an Associate Professor of Playwriting in the Ohio University MFA program and Director of Innovation and Research Topography at WordBRIDGE Play Lab. He writes for the blog Plot Wrench.
