Niara Mae is an early career playwright currently based in Brooklyn. She graduated from The New School for Drama, where she produced and directed readings for two of her full length plays. In her work currently, she’s negotiating with form and structure, writing plays that are both intuitive and grounded. Her pursuit has yielded work with rhythmic language and compelling characters, creating as full an experience as possible as she strives to make the internal external. Virtually, she was a Monthly Contributor to Mixed Mag’s Theater and Film Section, and was published by The Independent. Most recently, Niara became a Colt Coeur Company Member after her time as one of their 2022/2023 Resident Artists. On the weekends you can often find her rushing to a bookstore, chai latte in hand.
