Ro Reddick (she/her) is a queer Black playwright and songwriter and recent grad from Brown’s MFA playwriting program. She writes off-kilter comedies, the theme songs to your late capitalist nightmares. She has given readings and run labs at the Ground Floor (Berkeley Rep), Bushwick Starr Reading Series, Clubbed Thumb’s MFA Showcase and Williamstown Theatre Festival (NYC Reading). She earned a Venturous Fellowship Nomination, was a Lambda Literary Fellow in Playwriting, an Adele Kellenberg Seaver Fellow in Creative Writing at Brown University, a participant at the La Mama Umbria International Playwright Retreat, the recipient of a Miranda Theatre Company Playwright Grant and a two-time O’Neill finalist.

As an actor, Ro has performed at theaters including Hartford Stage, McCarter Theatre Center, Long Wharf and KC Rep; off-Broadway in Silence! The Musical, and on screen in The Americans, Louie and SATC 2. As a singer, she has performed and co-written songs for a country, rock and blues band. She also writes original songs for her plays and is an alum of the BAI Songwriting Workshop.

In addition to her MFA from Brown, Ro has a BFA in acting from Ithaca College and an MBA from NYU (which she has no intention of using). She is a 2024–25 Playwrights Center Core Apprentice and under commission at People’s Light Theatre for their new Queerways PA commissioning and residency program.
