About Phyllis Wong
Phyllis Wong is a mother, a friend, a teacher, a community builder, a storyteller and a lifelong learner. She teaches Intro to Theatre and Global Theatre and Performance at Cal Poly. She holds a PhD in Theatre for Youth from ASU as well as a BA from UCLA in English-World Literature. Her main areas of interest and research are in storytelling, connection and promoting civic dialogue through Theatre. The stories she is most interested in exploring are the stories from the margins. She has previously taught Theatre for Social Change, Methods in Teaching Drama in the Classroom, Improvisation and Topics in Theatre for Youth. She is the mother of two awesome children who take center stage in her heart. She also hosts a podcast called That's So Deep where she explores how deeper conversations, authentic relationships and meaningful connection can be the antidotes to loneliness. When she is not on campus, you can find her hiking Irish Hills, reading a good book, making up silly songs with her kids or having a deep conversation with a friend.
