Writer, playwright, essayist and performer Megan Griswold delves into her most challenging moments with honesty and wit, creating an uncommon ground that audiences and readers will enjoy.

She often writes about the tension between our vulnerabilities and the desire to appear as if we’ve got it all together. She finds humor and poignancy in experiences that may be simultaneously embarrassing, humiliating, and ridiculous. As she says in one of her essays, “Some of my qualities I do actually like - then others I just as soon hide in the back seat of my car where plastic wrappers, pennies and dirt go to die. But sometimes those same qualities we struggle with contribute to the best of who we are.”
