Charlotte Weinman

Charlotte Weinman is a playwright, an essayist and an actor.

She left her home in Los Angeles, California, to experience seasons for once, and to get two degrees from Boston University: a BFA in Theatre Arts and a BA in English.

As a playwright, she is passionate about staging the moments in-between ideal articulation. Her work often engages with queer stories, and positions itself decidedly in support of living things.

In the rest of her life, she delights in animals, trees, aimless walks, internet rabbit-holes and, most of all, other people.
