Caro Asercion is an artistic producer, dramaturg, and advocate for new plays. Caro is the New Works Producer at Crowded Fire Theater, where they have line produced dozens of new play workshops, staged readings, and world premiere productions, including pieces commissioned through CFT’s Resilience & Development (R&D) playwriting lab—which they have co-facilitated since 2021.

  • I had the opportunity to see a reading of this show in New York at Colt Coeur/WP and it’s been on my mind ever since! Mirza writes really fun and evocative arcs for the actors to grapple with each scene, but blends these arcs into a thoughtfully-intertwined narrative. Come for the compelling chemistry between the two leads trying to dig under each others’ skin, stay for the astute commentary on contemporary Muslim-American issues: “Hatefuck” is a strong two-hander that both entertains and enlightens its audience.
