Aster Aguilar (she/her) is a playwright, screenwriter, and performer from Wilbraham, Massachusetts—which is unfortunately more similar to Connecticut than Boston, but now she lives in Boston, so it all worked out. She writes plays about trans people that are funny until they aren't. Her work includes "TRANSITION; or The Electrolysis Play" (Great Plains Theatre Commons NPF 2026, O'Neill NPC 2025 semi-finalist), “A Neo-Vagina Monologue” (Winner! Samuel French 49th OOB Festival, now published with Concord Theatricals), “Willing and Ready” (Solomon Fellowship for LGBT Studies), and “transubstantiation” (Yale Playwright’s Festival). She's also developed work with the Yale Cabaret. While getting her BA at Yale, she studied playwriting under MJ Kaufman, Deb Margolin, and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins...
