ABOUT DREW LARIMORE:

Drew Larimore is a playwright, librettist, and screenwriter with internationally produced works. Drew is originally from the South with a focus on crafting strong, fallible, and complex female protagonists in seemingly unreal circumstances. His work has been highlighted in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Theatrius, This Week in New York, TheatreMania, Australian Stage, Aussie Theatre, and Theatre in the Now.

His play, Smithtown, starring Michael Urie, Constance Shulman, Ann Harada and Colby Lewis was adapted for the screen and premiered digitally in 2021 through the Studios of Key West. Drew made his Off-Broadway debut with Out of Iceland, which starred Lea Delaria, at Walker Space in early 2012. His play, The Anniversary, is published in Vintage Press’ anthology of new work, Shorter, Faster, Funnier. The Cannibals of Mcgower County, the first in a trilogy about the changing American South—was developed with Asolo Repertory’s Unplugged New Works Festival and featured in Denizen Theatre’s New Play Development Series. He has been a semi-finalist at the O’Neill Theatre Conference, The Lark Playwrights’ Week, the Heidman Award, P73 Playwriting Fellowship and a writing residency at Hawthornden Castle in Scotland.

Additional writing residencies include Djerassi, Key West Literary Seminar, Studios of Key West, and Telluride Playwright’s Festival. A former member of Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA’s Playwrights Coalition, he is based out of New York only when he’s not aggravated with New York—developing new plays, musicals, as well as original and adapted work for the screen.
