Andrew Saito is a globe-trotting writer whose many experiences living far off the beaten path shape his writing for TV, theater, and film. With a family that is Japanese, White, Black, and Latinx, his brand is 'Multiracial Mayhem.' A Fulbright scholar in Papua New Guinea and graduate of the Paramount Writers Mentoring Program, he wrote on Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol. He’s had numerous plays produced and been supported by the Mellon Foundation, the NEA, and many other funders. A polyglot who speaks four languages, Andrew excels at immersive research and cross-cultural communication and collaboration, Andrew has received grants to travel to all six inhabited continents. A fourth-degree black belt in Kung Fu, he’s passionate about scuba diving, climate activism, and cooking; recipes up his sleeve include chiles rellenos, jambalaya, key lime pie, and the meanest French toast this side of Paris (Texas, that is).
Andrew has developed plays with Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Victory Gardens, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, ArtsEmerson, Crowded Fire, East West Players, Mu Performing Arts, Brava Theater, the Bay Area Playwrights Festival, and others. He is a proud member of the Writers Guild of America.

ARTIST STATEMENT |
My writing explores upheaval and transition. My characters contend with war, displacement, and destruction of land. They are often multiracial or bicultural, or otherwise occupying two or more disparate worlds.
I write for actors' bodies, seeding theatrical physicality and imagery in dialogue. I include multiple languages to represent multiple worlds, and invite disparate audiences. I interweave differing aesthetics, such as surrealism and Afroperuvian dance. I employ humor to facilitate audiences examining difficult realities. My practice prioritizes research, collaboration, and revision. I live in libraries for spells, and immerse myself in locations: the Río Grande, Papua New Guinea, Maryland's Eastern Shore. I relish in details of history, individuals, and places. I thrive in rehearsal, valuing dramaturgical insights from all collaborators. I distill my scripts to find their ideal evolved forms. |
