Photo by Jordan GeigerGus Heagerty is a director, writer, actor and producer of works for stage and film. His work is cerebral and "creates an atmosphere of indeterminacy and sudden apparition where unmatched possibilities can and do fit.” (Helen Shaw, TimeOut NY).
He is the founder of i am a slow tide, a performance collective that activates alternative pathways of consideration. Under the banner of slow tide, Gus has produced and directed two critically acclaimed productions. His debut production of Agnes Borinsky's Brief Chronicle, Books 6-8 (Critic's Pick,TimeOut New York) was lauded "a tasty mouthful of downtown theater." (Broadway World) His follow up production of Jacob Perkins' The Gold Room had a run at HERE Arts Center as part of their Sublet Series. The New Yorker called the play "exquisite, a play as fine as a Fabergé egg" and "under Gus Heagerty's careful direction, the performances are miracles of detail."
On social media, Gus creates satirical videos that center on the performance of identity. Gus is currently under commission from multiple companies to continue creating material.
Gus spent his formative years as an assistant director on staff at The Shakespeare Theater Company in Washington DC. He served as the resident directing fellow at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts where he curated and produced multiple new works festivals.
He holds BFA in Directing from North Carolina School of the Arts (2010).
