Motz (rhymes w/ boats) received a Master's degree from Ohio University's Professional Playwriting Program and a BFA in Acting from Central Michigan University. His plays have appeared through Freshwater Theatre, Northland Words, UW Fon Du Lac, KCACTF, Swandive Theatre's Veggie Stock, and the Seabury Quinn, Jr. Playwrights' Festival. He was shortlisted in 2012 for The Old Vic New Voices TS Eliot US/UK Playwright Exchange. He has had his fiction and nonfiction featured on Consequence of Sound, Plots With Guns, LitReactor, and Revolver's Write Fight. He hosts Workplace Drama (a monthly storytelling show at Strike Theater), serves on the board of Theatre Pro Rata, and sits on the Artist Committee for the MN Fringe. By day Motz can be found working on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota, by night he's probably a private eye...or at least drinking like one.
