Chris Woodworth writes plays of archival topography, weaving together historical artifacts with the distinct contours of rural landscapes. She was selected as the “Write Here” playwright for the Syracuse Stage Cold Read Festival for her full-length play Fossenvue (March 2022—canceled due to COVID). Fossenvue has received staged readings at Women's Rights National Historical Park (Seneca Falls, NY), Three Bears Historic Courthouse (Ovid, NY), Historic Geneva (NY), and the Ulysses Historical Society (Trumansburg, NY). Her full-length play Petrichor was a semi-finalist in the 2023 Seven Devils Playwrights Conference and the 2023 Ashland New Plays Festival. Her 10-minute play The Last Bee received a world premiere in Alleyway Theatre’s Buffalo Quickies #32 (Buffalo, NY). Something Blue was a winner of the Stage It! 10-Minute Play Festival, selected for both publication and a world premiere production. Her (very, very short) plays have been produced as part of the One-Minute Play Festival at the Kitchen Theatre (Ithaca, NY). Several of her 10-minute plays have received public readings including Sure. (Barrow Group’s First Friday), What to Expect (Geneva Theatre Guild), and All That Remains (Fisher Center for the Study of Gender and Culture). All That Remains also made it to the final round of the PAC New Venture Short Play Festival. Chris is also a director (Full Member of SDC) and theatre historian. Her experience has been that theatre artistry, pedagogy, and scholarship can be woven together in such a way that each enriches the others.
