Hello listeners!

This week's guest is Kira Rockwell!

Kira (she/her) is a neurodivergent playwright, originally from the heart of Texas. Through a trauma informed, healing centered lens, she aims to nurture communal spaces that disrupt passivity and empower agency. This summer she will develop her play WICKED BITTER BEAST(S) with Alabama Shakespeare Festival. Her play, OH TO BE PURE AGAIN, was developed with The Kennedy Center, National New Play Network, and Great Plains Theatre Commons. It premiered at Actor’s Express in 2023 going on to win the Gene Gabriel Moore Playwriting Award. Rockwell's work is often based on her nuanced experiences growing up in "culty" Pentecostal Christian Communities. She is based in Atlanta with her creative husband and their sweet lab pit. When she’s not writing, she’s probably trying to talk to a caterpillar.
