Danielle Mohlman (she/they) is a nationally produced playwright based in the Los Angeles suburbs. Her adaptation of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was enthusiastically embraced by sold out audiences at Book-It Repertory Theatre last season. While not their exclusive focus, Danielle does gravitate toward classic stories, turning them on their heads for a modern audience. Her adaptation of Frankenstein puts Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft at the center of the narrative and her play Dust uses the Peter Pan story as a framework to interrogate gender-based violence.
Danielle is the Artistic Producer of Literary Management at Dacha Theatre, where she leads the company’s Literary Committee and collaborates on season planning. Danielle is also a thought partner at The Trust, where they are currently writing a new play about gymnastics and violence, inspired loosely by ancient Greek storytelling and with support from the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture.
In 2024, Danielle will be teaching playwriting classes for Hugo House and revising her first novel. (She cannot wait for you to read it.)
