LINSEY WATKINS
PLAYWRIGHT. DRAMATURG. EDUCATOR.
as a playwright...
I love to tell stories, I want to tell stories that are important and open us up to the conversations that make us uncomfortable. I LOVE to make people laugh, I love to make people think, and I even love to make people cry---not a sadist, just love invoking powerful emotions. I love to create beautifully flawed characters who are never objectively good nor objectively evil, they are real human people who are products of their existence and just like meeting any human, you may love them or you may hate them. I feel that with so much going on in the world all the time, I have a responsibility to utilize my voice, but I am careful to only tell stories that I can accurately tell, and not based off of experiences I've never had to encounter. I am a passionate person and I pour all of that passion into what I do, and all I can hope is that it shows.
