Geo (Geoffrey) Decas O'Donnell in a writer and performer.

They grew up on Cape Cod working at his family’s A&W Restaurant, doing lots and lots (and lots) of community theatre, and swimming in the ocean; studied acting and ensemble creation at the School of Theatre within the College of Fine Arts at Boston University; spent a couple of decades making ensemble devised work, writing plays, riding his bicycle, bartending, building a chosen family, and falling in love in New York City; now he writes plays and other things, teaches theatre, has a family and a garden, still rides his bicycle, has reignited a passion for making cardboard and paper mache art & puppets, bakes bread, and occasionally devises, in Philadelphia.

Geo co-founded the award winning, ensemble-based company CollaborationTown (CTown). As part of CTown he has been creating, performing, and producing ensemble-devised theatre since 2003. Most recently CTown's all-ages puppet musical, Riddle of the Trilobites had a run at The New Victory Theater in NYC (Feb 2020). Past CTown productions include: Family Play (1979 to Present) (named one of The Advocate’s 10 Best LGBT Plays of 2014), and The Momentum (2012 GLAAD National Media Award nomination).
