"...Most notable is Van Sciver, who can sling Turner’s gibes as well as Carlo-the-character and Wiseman-the-actor. It becomes quite a slugfest up on the roof." /New York Stage Review, At The Wedding "an androgynous Lothario....Van Sciver [gives a] foxy performance..." /New York Times, At The Wedding Barrymore Nomination: Outstanding Ensemble in a Musical (2018) |
I'm Han. (Rhymes with "man.") I'm a queer, trans, multidisciplinary artist. I like work that is gutsy, elegant, chaotic, and earnest. I also like the oxford comma. I grew up on Cape Cod, and then lived in Philly for a while, where I made and toured a lot of theatrical bombasts. I also did a lot of Shakespeare in various parks, and played drums in a band. Then I moved to Providence to get an MFA, and finally landed in Brooklyn.
I played the title role in Sarah Ruhl's Orlando at Williamstown Theatre Festival (2019), originated a role in Bryna Turner's At The Wedding at Lincoln Center (2022), played the lead in Else Went's An Oxford Man at Manhattan Theater Club (2023), and recently made my Network TV debut (2024). I've been "described" by "critics" as foxy, striking, exuberant, reckless, and utterly charming.
