Maggie Smith, of Brooklyn, is a playwright, actress and teacher.
Her work has been produced, work-shopped, and/or read at theatres
in Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans and NYC. She is the recipient of
the New Orleans Theatre Festival Grande Prize where her play Henreitta
Hermaline’s Fall from Great Heights was produced at Le
Chat Noir. She is also the recipient of numerous awards and scholarships
(including the Playwriting Excellence Award) from the University
of Michigan where she received her BFA in theatre in 2002. Maggie
co-founded the Umbrella Grottesco Theatre Company, a Commedia Dell’Arte
street performance company with whom she co-wrote and performed
in many abominations and delights as it toured the streets and dirty
venues of what was once New Orleans. In New York, Maggie co-founded
the Egress Theatre Company with whom she has worked as a writer,
actress, and development director since its inception in 2003. She
often bights off more than she can chew and is currently teaching
the second grade for some ungodly reason, in addition to furiously
writing plays by evening about the horrors of childhood. Maggie’s
works include Horchitta Underwater (Festival of New Works,
Ann Arbor, MI), The Vibromasticater (The Playwrights Workshop,
Chicago, IL), I’ll run like I’m made of Wind
(The Purple Rose, Detroit, MI), Henrietta Hermaline’s
Fall from Great Heights (Le Chat Noir, New Orleans, LA), Two
Men in an Office (The Ark Theatre, New Orleans, LA), and Bulbous
Head (EST, New York, NY). Maggie’s two most recent full-lengths,
Good Heif and Amoeba are seeking a post-parenthetical
blurb, excerpts of which can soon be viewed on this website.
