Hiram Marina Productions
Theatrical director and producer Hiram Marina premiered his first play, Señor de la Tierra, in the early 2000s in his home state of Chiapas, Mexico. Since that time, his plays have been brought to life throughout the United States and Mexico, including a 2012 production of Palenque Rojo in Asheville, presented by Asheville Sister Cities. Hiram’s career has included producing the 2012 G20 Congress for the 20 most influential presidents of the world, and his play Guardians of the Mist was featured at the 2016 IUCN World Conservation Congress in Hawaii. His vision of using theater to educate children and adults about history and preserving the environment has been at the heart of each production, finding ways to get people interested in the world around them through his memorable creations. Hiram, who now resides in Asheville, is continually working on new productions and is excited to work with other passionate artists in the area.
