Creative Team

Erik Champney Writer anD Director

Erik Champney is a disabled queer artist who grew up disabled, grew up queer, and grew up an artist. He does all three exceptionally well and, often, simultaneously. Due to a muscle deficiency in his legs, he spent most of his childhood undergoing extensive surgeries that made it possible for him to walk. In response to his frequent isolation from other children, a robust imagination was ignited and Erik has been creating since he was four years old. At the age of fifteen, he was first commissioned to write a play by renowned children’s theatre Peter Pan Players.

A Louisiana native, Erik has also called Seattle and Singapore home before planting roots in New York. As a playwright, he has been honored twice by The Kennedy Center for his plays Dead Brains (National AIDS Fund/CFDA-Vogue Initiative Award for Playwriting) and Pangaea (Commendation for Excellence). Erik’s work has been produced, developed, and celebrated across the United States and beyond. He has enjoyed collaborations with remarkable people, including Alan Cumming, Christy Altomare, Garrett Clayton, Misha Osherovich, Susannah Perkins, Erich Bergen, Leigh Silverman, Sheryl Kaller, and Jim Kierstead.

In his formative years, Erik was a member of Young Playwrights Inc., where he studied under Stephen Sondheim, John Weidman, and Wendy Wasserstein. He received a B.A. in both Theatre and English from Centenary College of Louisiana followed by a M.F.A. in Dramatic Writing from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.

Tuesday is Erik's debut film as screenwriter and director.

MARRICK SMITH COMPOSER

Marrick is a Staten Island native and an alumnus of Carnegie Mellon University. Alongside his eminent stage career, which has included Broadway and touring nationally, Marrick is a thriving, rebellious songwriter and musician. His albums, The Entropy E.P. and Bad bAd Man, are available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more. Marrick can also be heard on the original cast recording of Pretty Filthy and the Jerome Kern edition of the Lost Broadway and More album series.

When Marrick first read the screenplay for Tuesday, he was compelled by the idea of the as yet unwritten song that would be the only piece of music heard in the film. Intuitively, he composed it on the spot. The result was “I Forgot to Remember You,” a stunning and intimate ballad that immediately became the heart of Tuesday.
