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, the Princess Grace Award, the Parity Development Award, and Cherry Lane Playwrights Collective. 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.
Katherine is writing a pilot episode for the upcoming cycle of Serials, a late-night, episodic theatre competition at The Tank! She's writing the first ten minutes of a larger story that will be performed alongside four other short plays. Over the course of three shows, the audience will vote for the three stories they'd like to see advance, and the winners will return with a new episode of the same story in the next cycle.
Both livestream and in-person tickets are available here!
