Sigrid Edson is a playwright, theatermaker, and educator based in Baltimore, Maryland. She is a graduate of Seattle Rep’s Professional Arts Training Program and has also held roles at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, Baltimore Center Stage, and the Johns Hopkins University Department of Theatre Arts & Studies. She is also a freelance dramaturg and script consultant.

Sigrid strives to create weird, messy, and unexpected art about people whose stories are often flattened or simplified for mainstream audiences. She writes about queerness, madness, friendship, girlhood, and memory, and tries to make everything as funny as possible. She believes that the most powerful storytelling is driven by specificity, and that just because the events of a play did not really happen does not mean they are not true.
