Joel Trinidad is an actor, singer, director, producer, and playwright, and the founder of Upstart Productions, a small, independent theater company that specializes in comedy. Since his professional acting debut in 1989, he has appeared in over 50 theatrical productions, along with numerous movies and the occasional TV show. Though he continues to perform whenever possible, he has lately shifted his focus to writing: His portfolio now includes two one-act plays, two monologue plays, more than 30 short plays, and over a dozen librettos for full-length musicals. A once-in-a-lifetime genius, Joel also writes his own bios. (Har!)
