Justin Tanner is a Los Angeles playwright.

He is the author of "Wife Swappers" and "Oklahomo" (both staged at the Third Stage Theater in Burbank) and "Space Therapy" (at the Zephyr Theater in Hollywood, nominated for an L.A. Stage Alliance Ovation Award).

He has written and directed numerous highly regarded plays such as "Pot Mom" (which won a Pen West Award), "Teen Girl", "Bitter Women", "Tent Show", and "Coyote Woman".

"Pot Mom" was also staged at Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago.

Justin Tanner also wrote, with then partner Andy Daley, what may be Los Angeles' longest running play: "Zombie Attack", which ran for ten years at the Cast Theater in Hollywood, and has since had numerous revivals.

Mr. Tanner's many other projects have included doing a weekly late night live comedy serial called "The Strip" starring, among others, John Waters luminary Mink Stole, and being a staff writer on television's Gilmore Girls and the short lived cult favorite Love Monkey, and directing the yearly Christmas satire "Bob's Office Party".
