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

She’s the recipient of the Paula Vogel Playwriting Award & Residency (Vineyard Theatre), the John Gassner Award for New American Play, and the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play.
