Trey Parker
CO-DIRECTOR, BOOK, MUSIC AND LYRICS
Parker wrote and directed his first feature film, Cannibal! The Musical, while attending the University of Colorado in Boulder. A few years later, he co-created the hit animated series South Park with Matt Stone (his college friend and Cannibal! producer). Debuting on Comedy Central in 1997 and currently in its 17th season, South Park has won four Emmy Awards as well as the coveted Peabody Award. The same year South Park debuted, Trey wrote, directed, and starred in the film Orgazmo. Two years later, Trey and Matt released the critically acclaimed feature film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. The musical, which Trey directed and co-wrote, earned an Oscar nomination for Best Song and the first ever New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Animated Film. In 2004, the pair returned to movies with Team America: World Police, an action movie co-written and directed by Trey, starring a cast of marionettes. It was a long-time dream of Trey’s to write a musical for Broadway. Trey is originally from Conifer, Colorado.
