Sydney Green (she/her) is a prolific writer, who has always enjoyed writing about everything but herself. 

NY-born and raised, Sydney Green is a playwright and dramaturg by trade. She has dug in the dirt of Ireland and Portugal because she is convinced archaeology and playwriting are both about the same thing: understanding humanity.  Though she is not sure she actually understands it yet. 

Maybe more dirt.  Probably more plays.

Sydney’s theatrical canon revolves around a few vital notions.  First, there are never enough lesbians.  Second, everything can be questioned.  Everything.  Third, everything can be turned on its head.  The Munsters can be gay, and cavemen can summon Universal Monsters with a crop ritual.  Sydney believes in expecting only the unexpected, and inviting novelty even to stories you think you already know.  Because we are all mutable.  For theatre, we have to be mutable.

Sydney strives to create a theatre that is grounded in historicity and connection.  For Sydney, connection can be so many things, from the intergenerational love between a young Jewish woman, who is trying to find herself in her history, and the ghost of her great-grandmother, to a trans teenager who only talks to his livestream until he meets a reincarnated wax figure of Henry VI.  After all, no one can determine what makes a difference in your life except for you–maybe today it is a nuclear war activist version of Wednesday Addams, who’s to say?  If the world is so full of absurdity, why shouldn't theatre be too?  Sydney believes there is meaning in everything if we allow it, if we let imagination guide us we can discover novel parts of ourselves.  

Sydney graduated summa cum laude from New York University with degrees in Dramatic Literature and Anthropology with a minor in–of course–archaeology.  She is currently pursuing her MFA at the New School College of Performing Arts in Contemporary Theatre and Performance.  

Sydney also works in film as a screenwriter and script doctor.  She has done research work for The Best Christmas Movie Ever! on CW, and currently has some special plans in the works…  Stay tuned!

If you have gotten this far, we both survived it.  Thank you?  You can go look at the pictures now.  They’re less self-deprecating.
