My name is Ally Varitek (she/her/hers), and I am an actor, dramaturg, and theatrical freelancer currently based outside of Atlanta, GA. I've been a self-professed interdisciplinary aficionado for as long as I can remember. I find myself enamored with approaching relationships from a place of abundance instead of competition and find learning about the human experience and how to be in citizenship across differences through theatre to be fruitful. Special niches include stories with space for melancholy and the bittersweet, movement in theatre, environmental science and climate themes, plays with music, musicals, literary adaptations, and femme-centric stories. Those are specifics, but I also have a wide and varied interest in all theatrical works and promise to approach your writing with an open heart and curious mind. Internships/Apprenticeships: Concord Theatricals, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Amphibian Stage, and Working Title Playwrights. 2021 Kennedy Center/LMDA Dramaturgy Intensive Fellow. Past Script Reading: Working Title Playwrights' Ethel Woolson Lab, the NPC at the O'Neill, Playwrights Foundation's BAPF, Wild Imaginings Waco's Epiphanies New Works Festival, and Amphibian Stage's SparkFest.

Special niches include: stories with space for melancholy and the bittersweet, movement in theatre, environmental science and climate themes, plays with music, musicals/musical theatre, literary adaptations, and femme-centric stories. I am also especially keen to work on new musical dramaturgy from my performance/choir background in addition to play dramaturgy and am currently exploring archival dramaturgy.
