Rain City Projects

Paul Mullin’s plays have been produced in cities across the U.S., exploring subjects ranging from personal nuclear catastrophe to the uncelebrated underbelly of American History. His play LOUIS SLOTIN SONATA won the L. A. Drama Critics Award, and was read by invitation for scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as well as the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation in Santa Barbara. LOUIS SLOTIN SONATA will receive its Pacific Northwest premiere at The Empty Space in Seattle in the Fall of 2006, in time to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the events the play dramatizes. Mullin’s most recent full-length, THE SEQUENCE, dramatizes the real-life race to decode the human genome. The script was originally commissioned by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and has been read at the Exploratorium in San Francisco and George Mason University. In addition to writing for the stage, Mullin has participated in several film and television projects. He wrote and starred in the independent feature film HITTING THE GROUND, which won the Gold Prize at the Houston WorldFest and later played in rotation on the Sundance Channel. He has also provided scripts for several nationally recognized documentaries, including THE RAINERS and TREASURES OF THE WORLD, which aired on PBS. Paul lives in Seattle with his wife and young family.
