NYC-based Playwright
Hello hello hello!
Katherine Alberta (she/her) is a New York City-based playwright originally from Wilmington, Delaware.
Katherine's work has been read/produced with The Makers' Space, Daisy Theatricals, The Road Theatre Company, and Jane Street Collective. She has developed new works with Under Construction Playwrights Group (The Road Theatre Co.) and with Bloom! Festival (Daisy Theatricals). She has been a semifinalist for the O'Neill National Playwrights Conference. She holds Bachelors of Arts degrees in Acting and English (Creative Writing concentration) from Pace University.
Katherine loves satire and unhappy endings. Through her writing, she endeavors to capture the delightfully indelicate experience of being human, whether that's in ridiculous dark comedies about cannibalism or heartfelt one-acts about cum stains. She firmly believes that embarrassment and vulnerability are the best conduits for connection. She has extensive background in self-producing and in devised theatre-making, and she deeply values collaboration when crafting new work.
Katherine's plays are available to read on New Play Exchange.
Appetite is going west! The play will have a reading as part of The UC New Play SlamFest with The Road Theatre Company on Tuesday, May 12th, at 7:30pm. Appetite was developed as part of the virtual cohort of Under Construction Playwrights Group over the course of 2025, with the process culminating in an in-person reading at The Road Theatre Co. in Los Angeles, California.
