Anthony Moseley (he/him) has been the Artistic Director of Collaboraction since 1999, using theater as a tool of knowledge, empathy, dialogue and action. Through this work, Moseley has commissioned and collaborated with thousands of artists to build a more equitable future for Chicago through projects including Sketchbook Festival, Peacebook, Encounter and The Light youth theater festival. As a writer/director he created Crime Scene: a Chicago Anthology and its four sequels, This is Not a Cure For Cancer, Connected and A Blue Island in the Red Sea.

 

Carla Stillwell has been an award-winning actor, playwright, producer, artistic director and teacher for three decades. Currently, she is Collaboraction’s Managing Director, where she won a Regional Emmy for her work as producer on The Lost Story of Emmett Till: Trial in the Delta, a collaboration with NBCUniversal/Chicago. Stillwell began as a theatre artist at age 10 in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, continued her studies in high school with the Chicago Park District’s after-school programming, and went on to attend Columbia College as a Theatre-Music double major. In 1995, she was cast in a show with an Afrikan Centered theater company new to Chicago called MPAACT, which became her artistic home for 22 seasons, serving both as resident playwright and artistic director. In 2019 she founded The Stillwell Institute for Contemporary Black Arts, with a mission to recruit, develop and support contemporary Black artists and to teach art making in the Black community as a healing practice, a vehicle for social change and a viable career opportunity. In 2021, she joined the adjunct staff at The Theatre School at DePaul University.
