An experienced playwright and knowledgeable in all (okay, most) aspects of theatre, Chad Taylor has lived on the stage since the age of 11. Writing his first play at 17 with his first production at 18, Chad has written over 75 plays with numerous productions all over the US and has acted in over 100 productions and directed/produced over 50.

Starting Insomniac Theatre as a joke during a production in Los Angeles in 2003, he started getting serious about putting together a legitimate and professional community oriented theatre company with the news of his hearing loss and eventual deafness. Chad has moved back to Ocala from California to pursue his dream of giving his hometown a new community theatre experience and to give back to the city that has given him his start.
