Abel Santiago is an actor, poet, DJ, and teaching artist from Harlem, NYC. He was trained and nurtured by the award-winning after-school program of the Epic Theatre Ensemble in NYC and graduated from SUNY Purchase in 2021 with a degree in Theatre and Performance. In 2016, he won the NYC branch of the National Shakespeare Competition and became a Top 10 finalist in the country. He was last seen in “Former Kings of Clutch City” at Theatre Row and the historic Negro Ensemble Company's one-act play tour, “Clipper Cut Nation,” and “Law and Order: Organized Crime” (2022). He prides himself on being a teaching artist throughout the city in high schools with Epic Theatre Ensemble and re-entry programs for those who are transitioning from prison back into society, teaching acting and poetry. Abel would like to thank Harlem, Epic Theatre Ensemble, his agents at Luedtke Agency, hip-hop, poetry, his family, and friends for their undying love and support.
