Artistic Statement

Sophie McIntosh (she/her) is a New York–based playwright and theatermaker. Her writing gives voice to women and queer folks, offers empathetic insight into living with mental illness, and explores how the ways we relate to animals and the natural world reflect on our own humanity.

Sophie is also the co-founder of Good Apples Collective, a developmental orchard for new theatrical works that she co-leads with her frequent collaborator Nina Goodheart.

Recent productions of Sophie’s work include the world premiere of MACBITCHES (New York Times Critic’s Pick), the premieres of CUNNICULARII (recommended by Sara Holdren in NY Magazine) and CITYSCRAPE at Good Apples Collective, and college productions of ELEVEN WEEKS OF NUCLEAR SUMMER at Notre Dame University and the University of Michigan. Sophie’s plays have also been developed by Pioneer Theatre Company, LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, the 24 Hour Plays: Nationals, the Bechdel Group, the Unicorn Theatre, Atlanta Shakespeare Company, and Breaking & Entering Theatre Collective.

She is a proud recipient of a BA in drama from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and is currently working toward an MFA in playwriting at Columbia University.
