Kay Lynn Er

Playwright Theatre Director

Hi, I'm Kay Lynn (she/her), a playwright and theatre director. I'm interested in the process of art-making and how we draw from our lives to make art that speaks to concerns both universal and personal at the same time. My work also looks at the relationship between language and accessing familial, communal, and personal memories. I'm also interested in experimenting with movement, form, and making work that asks the question of what theatre really is.
