who is Salem?
Salem Corwin (He/They) is a chaotic Catskillian cryptic who strives to spread queer joy across the mountains! With a ukulele as his weapon of choice, Salem has self-released two albums - “Take 23” (2019) and “Messy” (2021). Last year Salem was part of the first ever all transgender cast and crew show in NYC theater history, performing as John in “The Civility of Albert Cashier” at The Players Theater. You can hear more of Salem’s gentle-yet-theatrical voice in the audiobook for Robin Gow’s “A Million Quiet Revolutions”, as Oliver - a young trans man speaking through love letters and prose. These days you can also find Salem on the airways, during his radio show “Gender Blender” on 91.3FM every other Tuesday - learn more at the 'My Music' tab!)
Offstage I am a proud (but not always successful) plant dad, an avid knitter, a Jewitch (Jewish witch), and a flaming scorpio. I'm a seeker of the truth, and a believer that theater can help to heal our world.

"I have never witnessed someone be so present, so INATELY present in the work. Watching Salem perform is like drinking water, a breath of fresh air, a hug for 30 seconds, wrapping yourself in a fuzzy blanket, singing in the shower... the list goes on for days."
