Dom Martello is a playwright, performer, dramaturg, and artistic consultant based in NYC. Their writing centers on trans and queer experiences, exploring the complexity of inter-community dynamics through genre and structure, and can be found on their NPX page. Their work has been developed by Syracuse University, We Who Wander, and are currently participating in The Strides Collective’s Emerging Playwright Program. The intersection of joy, activism, and art is the central tenet of their practice. They wish to help build a world where theater isn’t viewed as a luxury but rather as a civic utility that has the power to bring about a better future.
