Beau Prichard was born in Australia, raised in New Zealand, and educated by Quakers in Oregon. His first acting gig was a church Christmas program when he was six. He was most recently seen in Antagonism at the Odd Duck, with Luke S. Walker, and starring in Conor McPherson's one man show, St Nicholas, this Halloween.
Beau loves wearing many hats in his involvement with Eclectic, including directing, producing, and house managing. He was very proud to have his theatrical writing debut, Interrogation , produced as part of Antagonism last year.
Finally frustrated with the short-sightedness of the publishing community, he has chosen to self-publish his first novel, Elegy, a P.I. novel set in Seattle. It is available on Amazon.com or through his website, www.beauprichard.com .
