Gracie is passionate about advocating for a more inclusive, accessible theatre industry. In 2024, she wrote an original play for an autistic and neurodiverse audience, called THE ADVENTURES OF SPECTRUM SPARKS, commissioned by CenterStage Theatre Works, and she has also worked with Berklee College of Music’s Institute for Accessible Arts Education, including as a guest host on the ABLE Voices podcast and as a performer/speaker at their Day Sessions for young musicians with disabilities.
Gracie is fascinated by the way her own life impacts her art, and allows her identity as a queer, disabled, autistic woman from the American South to inform her every word. When she’s not writing, Gracie also loves performing onstage and on-camera, Dungeons & Dragons, her job as an escape room game master, and excitedly pointing out every dog she sees around Chicago.
