About the Author

After seven years in the West African country of Togo and a run as a Capitol Hill bookstore owner, Al Frank began working on a play cycle featuring characters struggling to escape homelessness. He completed a two-act play, Ain't No Place Like Home in 2007, and the long one-act play It's Not Stealing in 2010. He is currently at work on the third play in the cycle. This fall he began a two year playwrights residency in The Seattle Repertory Theatre's inaugural Writers Group, which is a part of the Rep's New Play Program.
