Mack Lawrence
Mack Lawrence (they/them) is a playwright, interdisciplinary performance artist, and dancer from Austin, TX, currently living in Brooklyn. As a trans artist and a sixth-generation Austinite, their work tells queer stories with a specifically southern voice. They are charmed by the radical politic of allowing a queer person to inhabit a fictional arc that has both everything and nothing to do with their orientations, especially within chosen communities in the deep South.
