ZIN GALACTIC Spotlight: David Shih

We’re thrilled to continue spotlighting the creative team of Zin Galactic and the Saloon at the Edge of the Universe by Adam Szymkowicz directed by Heather Cohn! David Shih plays HEATH and MOON LIBRARIAN, to which he brings oodles of gravitas and mystery, respectively. David was a contestant on Flux’s Family Feud and we’ve long wanted to collaborate with him more frequently. The questions are inspired by Adam’s joyful play—make sure to RSVP for the in-NYC 2/16 reading at 7:00pm ET!
