Sophie McIntosh (she/her) is a New York–based theatermaker and the co-founder of Good Apples Collective, a developmental orchard for new theatrical works. Her writing gives voice to women and queer folks, leans into Midwestern existentialism, and explores how our interactions with animals reflect back our own humanity.
Recent productions of Sophie’s work include the world premiere of macbitches (New York Times Critic’s Pick), the premieres of cunnicularii (recommended by Sara Holdren in NY Magazine) and cityscrape with Good Apples Collective, and Eleven Weeks of Nuclear Summer at Notre Dame University and the University of Michigan.
Sophie’s plays have also been developed at Pioneer Theatre Company, LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, the 24 Hour Plays: Nationals, the Bechdel Group, the Unicorn Theatre, Atlanta Shakespeare Company, Breaking & Entering Theatre Collective, The Tank, and The Brick. Her work has been performed at colleges across the country.
She 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 (class of 2025).
