Photography by Casey Gardner Ford
Wanyu Yang (they/them) is a theater artist based in Atlanta, GA. They work as a standardized patient and teaching affiliate at Emory University, their alma mater from which they graduated in 2020. They hold dual degrees in both Economics and Theater. Around town, they work primarily as a freelance actor with upcoming film and theatrical projects, as well as new projects as a director.
In addition to their theatrical training in college, they co-founded the theater company, f-SQUARED Productions, in 2020 as a way to continue creating work on a virtual platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. After returning to Atlanta following that year, they were the directing apprentice at Theatrical Outfit in the 2021-2022 season.
Outside of their work, they enjoy annoying their adorable cat, Texas Pete, browsing local artisan markets and antique stores, and hosting their friends for living room theater and soup parties.
