Suehyla El-Attar Young is an actor/writer based in Atlanta, Georgia. She's worked with many theatre companies across the Atlanta area in both capacities, including but not limited to: The Alliance Theatre Company, Theatre du Reve, and Working Title Playwrights. She's an artistic associate with Synchronicity Theatre and is currently working on a commission for Horizon Theatre, via a grant from the MAP fund. Her secret passion is providing scripts for teens to perform and to see; she'd like to be the John Hughes of High school Theatre...simply because she believes we should get them young. She's accomplished this with her two scripts, FISHBOWL and DESPERADOES. Her acting career is attempting a spread from the stage to the screen, at the moment.
