About this Event

Margot Carmody is a Latinx playwright, born and raised in Queens, New York. Margot holds an MFA in Dramatic Writing from Carnegie Mellon University and earned a B.A. from New York University with a minor in Creative Writing and Poetry. Additional training includes The Stella Adler Studio, Atlantic Acting School, Second City Conservatory, Upright Citizens Brigade, The People's Improv Theater, ESPA Primary Stages, and Button Poetry with Neil Hilborn. As a screenwriter, Margot’s romantic comedy The Other Girl Next Door was a second-rounder at the Austin Film Festival. Margot’s sketch comedy has been featured on Funny or Die Community. Margot has performed original poetry at KGB Bar & Lit Lounge, the Lillian Vernon Creative Writers House, and Lovecraft Bar NYC.

Margot’s play Happy Birthday, David was a finalist in Manhattan Repertory Theater’s Winter One-Act Festival, and its musical adaptation played to a sold-out audience at The PIT. Hi Bi, a tragicomedy, premiered virtually through Dixon Place Theater’s HOT! Queer Festival with a cast of veteran TV actors. This led Playbill to name Margot an LGBTQIA+ artist to watch and a feature on Pride Plays IG, produced by Michael Urie. Margot’s full-length play Olvídame won the Kennedy Center Award for Hip-Hop Theater and is recognized for Distinguished Achievement in Latinx Playwriting. It also earned the 2025 New Harmony Writers Residency and a staged reading by Latinx Playwrights Circle at Ensemble Studio Theatre. Margot is proud to present an excerpt at JCAL as part of MTP.
