RUBEN GRIJALVA
2024–2025 RESIDENT PLAYWRIGHT

Ruben Grijalva (he/him) is a San Francisco Bay Area-based playwright exploring moral questions to which he has no good answer. This approach leads to plays that you might describe as comedies about tragedies, featuring protagonists that you might describe as seemingly good people doing seemingly bad things. His short plays include “Anna Considers a Cocktail” and the PianoFight ShortLived winning “All The Worlds Are Stages.” His full-length plays include “Anna Considers Mars,” the Edgerton New Play Award winning “Value Over Replacement,” and “Shoot Me When…,” winner of the 2022 Will Glickman Award for Best New Play in the Bay Area. He lives in San Rafael, California with his wife and daughter.
