My Name is
A Play
By Timothy Andrew Mcintosh
Directed By Frank Mihelich
A Voice Against the Noise
We’re inviting friends to join a unique challenge: bringing a play about Søren Kierkegaard’s final years to stages around the world. Imagine Kierkegaard’s voice echoing in cities across Europe and on the streets of New York.
This play focuses on one of Kierkegaard’s most famous convictions — that truth belongs not to the crowd but to the single individual standing before God. The play becomes a mirror for modern conformity, social pressure, and shallow faith.
About the Play
My Name is Soren Kierkegaard debuted as a reader's theatre performance in June of 2025 at New Threads Theatre Company’s new works Greenhouse Festival.
Wedgwood Circle Annual Conference, Mockingbird Theatre at The Factory in Franklin, TN on Thursday, November 13th from 8PM to 10:30PM. This staged reading of the play will happen during one evening of the Wedgwood arts conference. More here.
Illuminate Conference, Chattanooga, TN. This staged reading of the play will happen on March 23-24, 2026, as part of the Illuminate Conference, a series of presentations, performances, workshops, and conversations over meals. More here.
The play will receive its full production at Barking Legs Theatre in Chattanooga, TN, in July 2026. Details announced here soon.
Future performances are being organized but not yet ready for release. Stay tuned for updates.
