About the Artist

Playwright morgan mcnaught

morgan mcnaught brews new worlds/futures/identities into existence by redefining convention through queer interpretations of familiar narratives. they deftly mix pop culture concepts with new age mysticism, glitter, and millennial nihilism-bringing engagement and dissonance. they have performed at the Steppenwolf Garage and with The Goodman, Second City, Chicago Dramatists, Victory Gardens, The Fly Honey Show, About Face, ART-AIDS America, The Guild Literary Complex, Red Tape Theater, and The Actors Theatre Columbus and has done videos for ClickHole, Everything Is Terrible and Second City’s BizCo and The Onion. morgan is also a contributor to The A.V. Club's Podmass and has an MFA in playwriting from Columbia University in the City of New York and has a BFA in performance, studying playwriting under the late and great Esiba Irobi at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. they are currently working on a ton of new plays, a new family-friendly opera, and figuring out how to make really good pork shoulder for tacos.
