CRAIG B. HOLLAND

A fourth generation Californian, Craig B. Holland writes family friendly musical comedies and plays. 

 

In addition to having many of his shows performed in theatres across the country, he has four musicals published with Plays for New Audiences, including Squirrelock Holmes, Pirates vs. Leprechauns and Birdbrain. His shows have received multiple award nominations in the Orange County Theatre Guild Awards. 

​

Craig’s shows feature wacky combinations of characters, animals and oddballs who find themselves in predicaments that require puzzle solving. On a mystical island, a band of pirates runs into a group of leprechauns and discovers they're both searching for the same treasure in Pirates vs. Leprechauns. A talented but clumsy cockatoo solves a mystery to prove she’s smarter than the average bird in Birdbrain. In Squirrelock Holmes, the famous squirrel detective is called in to solve the case of the missing sunflower seeds. 

​

Craig worked for many years in the video game industry both as a creative director and writer and executive producer. His firm, Freeze Tag, produced a number of popular video games in the adventure, puzzle, point and click and hidden object genres for the PC and Mac platforms. 

Craig has a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature from UCLA and an MBA from the University of Southern California. He is currently enrolled in the Master of Music Technology program at Southern Utah University with a planned graduation date of December 2026. He and his wife live in Orange County and are the parents of four children.
