John
Bavoso is a Washington, D.C.-based
playwright, marketer and aspiring wrangler of unicorns. He mostly writes plays
about women and queer people who are awkwardly attempting to engage with
serious subject matter using only dry wit and impeccably timed combative
taunts. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild, a Pinky Swear Productions
company member, a 2019 Lambda Literary Fellow and a two-time District of
Columbia Arts and Humanities Fellow. His plays have been produced and/or
developed across the United States and in Canada, Japan, South Korea, United
Arab Emirates, Australia and the United Kingdom. Bavoso's full-length works
include Olizzia, Over Her Dead Body: A Bluegrass Benediction (winner
of two Capital Fringe Audience Awards), BLIGHT (Next Stage Press), MLM
Is for Murder (or, Your Side Hustle Is Killing Us) (AACT NewPlayFest 2022
Winner) and Camp Mannuppia: An Alt-Masc Comedy.
