Nako Adodoadji

I’m a third culture kid who’s experienced the beauty and struggle of connecting with multiple cultures. I’ve synthesized that experience into the process of collaboration in my work as a writer, director, producer, and actor. Receiving an MFA in Playwriting from Columbia University, I was fortunate to receive writing mentorship from Lynn Nottage, David Henry Hwang, Blair Singer and Matt Williams. Achievements: Semifinalist, The 2020 Script Lab Free Screenplay Contest for The Breaking (currently under consideration); Fellowship Winner, 2018 Orchard Project Episodic Lab; Script Consultant / Acting Coach for the award winning short film The Cage (dir.
