about

playwright | songwriter |educator

Ro Reddick is a queer Black playwright, songwriter, and educator. She writes off-kilter comedies; the theme songs to your late capitalist nightmares.

Ro is the 2025 - 2026 recipient of the Paula Vogel Playwriting Award and an artist-in-residence at the Vineyard Theatre. Her play Cold War Choir Practice (2026 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize) premiered in Clubbed Thumb’s Summerworks 2025 (NYT Critic’s Pick, dir. Knud Adams), co-produced by Page 73, and is currently being remounted at MCC Theater in a co-production with all three organizations. Cold War Choir Practice was also produced in September 2025 at Trinity Repertory Company (dir. Aileen Wen McGroddy).

Ro is a 2026 Audrey Resident at New Georges and an alum of the Page 73 Writers Group, the PWC Core Apprentice Program, and the DGF Playwriting Fellowship, and People’s Light QPA. Her plays have been developed by The Ground Floor (Berkeley Rep), Bushwick Starr Reading Series, Williamstown Theatre Festival (NYC Reading, dir. Jamario Stills), Clubbed Thumb, Page 73, and Trinity Rep. Ro has an MFA in Playwriting from Brown University and an MBA from NYU, which she has no intention of using.
