Background

About Ella Kohlmann

Ella Kohlmann (she/her) is a writer, theatre-maker, and arts administrator based out of Tiohtià:ke (Montreal, QC), currently working as the Schools Liaison for Geordie Theatre and the Support and Outreach Assistant for the National Theatre School Dramafest. She graduated with Great Distinction from Concordia University's Honours English Literature and Creative Writing program in 2021 and has worked in theatre production and administration in both Toronto and Montreal for over 5 years. She was a member of the 2018/19 cohort of the Young Creator’s Unit at Playwright’s Workshop Montreal, support from which allowed her to have her first play,"Exits," read at Centaur Theatre’s Queer Reading Series, and produced in full at the 2019 Montreal Fringe. Her second play,"Corps," was originally developed with support from Teesri Duniya's Fireworks Play Development Program, and will be receiving further development as part of Playwrights Workshop Montreal's 2023-24 dramaturgical season. Ella will happily talk your ear off about any number of topics ranging from disability justice, to tabletop role-playing games, to reparative reading, to how to make the best dairy-free mac & cheese ever; and she hopes to take a similarly passionate, hopeful, and wide-ranging approach to her work and her writing.
