Margot Carmody is a Latinx playwright that aims to “make the mundane spectacular” Through magical realism, poetry, and dance, their plays explore memories and grief in a way that celebrates life itself and brings the audience closer to the humanity we share.
Her full-length play, Olvidame (Forget Me) is the recipient of the Kennedy Center’s Hip Hop Theatre Creator Award and is recognized for Distinguished Achievement for the Kennedy Center’s Latinx Playwriting Award. Her play, Hi Bi, debuted virtually at Dixon Place Theater with an impressive cast of veteran television actors: Davi Santos (CW's Tell Me a Story), Adrian Gonzalez (STARZ Vida), and Hanako Greensmith (NBC's Chicago Fire) and received a mention in PLAYBILL as an LGBTQIA+ artist to watch.
She will graduate from Carnegie Mellon's Dramatic Writing MFA in 2025 and continue her social experiment.
