Playwright Renae Simone Jarrett’s works “visit the realm of the surreal to uncover what is already surreal in the experience of the everyday.” She is a member of the 2021/22 Clubbed Thumb Early Career Writers' Group and a recent graduate from UT Austin's M.F.A. playwriting program.
During her stay at MacDowell Jarrett worked on two plays. She produced multiple revisions of Oh, Sweetheart which began as a semi-finalist submission for the Clubbed Thumb 2020 Biennial commission and will continue to be workshopped at LCT3 in New York. She also worked on Daphne, a loose adaptation of the myth of Daphne, which premiered at Lincoln Center's LCT3 in the fall of 2023.
