actor to many, playwright to more, legend to most
Connor Wentworth
playwright (and other things that are cool)
Connor Wentworth has always been captivated by the arts. From a young age, they loved acting in plays and musicals, always wondering where these stories came from. As they grew up, Wentworth found that having an artistic outlet was the perfect way to express their thoughts and imagination. In 2017, they fell in love with playwriting, and haven't looked back since. They are constantly meeting people from all walks of life, developing new plays, and always looking for the next adventure, should that be in Seattle, San Francisco, or their home, New York City.
They are blessed to share the Earth with the likes of Harry Styles, Lorde, Lady Gaga, and Kate Bush.
Connor is committed to empowering the voices of those who feel lost in the theatre world, promoting Queer storytelling by offering sticky and fresh perspectives, and creating bold, game-changing theatre.
“There can be 100 people in a room and 99 of them don’t believe in you, but all it takes is one and it just changes your whole life…”

Rachel Tata,

Connor Wentworth is one of my favorite writers & directors to work with and watch. Every time I’ve been lucky enough to encounter or work on one of their plays, I am transported to and enveloped in deep, vibrant new worlds, full of love, humor, complexities, loss, grief and joy. Connor adeptly and brilliantly devises vibrant, passionate, and profound theatre with their poetic storytelling. Whether those worlds are far away in the past or intertwined with our present, any audience member can find someone or something to connect to in Connor’s work.

Connor's work can be summed up in one word- striking. Their poetic writing style through a contemporary world is something I don't see from most contemporary playwrights. Their work is ambitious and larger than life while still taking moments to recognize the humanity within all of their characters. Their commitment to the process and the "making" of theater keeps them constantly creating and improving on their past work. Their work is one you need in your season.
