Artistic Statement

My name is Madeline Mahrer and I write plays that explore the hidden lives of women and the emotional worlds they inhabit. I create fantastical elements amidst the mundane as a way of revealing the poetic nature of everyday life and issues. I am drawn to lonely characters longing for community and oddballs whose absurdity is charming yet isolating. Characters are brought together by peculiar happenstance, creating intimate relationships that otherwise may have been impossible.
