Madeline Easley (she/her/hers)
Madeline Easley is a Wyandotte artist and consultant whose work converges at the intersection of magical realism and elevation of Tribal Sovereignty, the inherent right of Tribal Nations to govern themselves. In her work, she positions colonialism as dystopia and examines the many threads that wind this reality, positing its fracturing through a truthful examination of the whole. Most recently, Madeline was the inaugural Four Directions Resident Playwright for 2023, a new partnership between Tulsa Artist Fellowship, Tofte Lake Center, Great Plains Theatre Commons (GPTC), and the Kansas City Repertory Theatre (KCREP), a 2022 Greenhouse Playwriting Resident at SPACE on Ryder Farm, and a 2021 First Peoples Fund Cultural Capital Fellow. Madeline's work has appeared at the Kennedy Center, TCL Chinese Theatre, KCREP, and more. Her current plays include Feast for the Dead, Shift, and Representatives for Those at Peace. maddieeasley.com
