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 believes in storytelling that is driven by specificity, and often writes from observation and found materials. Her plays explore queerness, madness, girlhood, friendship, and memory, and strive to capture the experience of a 21st century coming-of-age. Inspired by playwrights like Hansol Jung, Clare Barron, Paula Vogel, and Lauren Yee, Sigrid’s work emphasizes that just because the events of a play did not really happen does not mean they are not true.
