Sophie McIntosh

Sophie McIntosh is a New York–based playwright and the co-founder of Good Apples Collective, a developmental orchard for new theatrical works that she leads alongside director Nina Goodheart. Her writing celebrates queer communities, gives voice to women’s experiences, and lovingly riffs on the cynical sincerity of young adults.

Recent productions of Sophie’s work include the world premiere of macbitches (New York Times Critic’s Pick, now licensed by Theatrical Rights Worldwide) at the Chain Theatre, the college premiere of Eleven Months of Nuclear Summer at Notre Dame University, and Ipswich in the Boston Theater Marathon. Sophie’s plays have also been developed by Pioneer Theatre Company, the 24 Hour Plays: Nationals, the Bechdel Group, and Breaking & Entering Theatre Collective. Her newest work, cityscrape, will receive its premiere by Good Apples Collective in May of this year.

Sophie is a proud recipient of a BA in drama from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and is currently working toward an MFA in playwriting at Columbia University.
