Profile Information

I Am A...: Writer

About Me:: Kelly Younger is an award-winning playwright with work staged off-Broadway, in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, throughout the Midwest and South, as well as in Canada, England, and Ireland. He is a member of the Ensemble Studio Theatre/LA Playwrights Unit, the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights, The Dramatists Guild of America, and is a voting member for the LA Stage Alliance Ovation Awards.

Currently, Younger is developing a new full-length, time-bending, romantic-comedy called Rorschach that recently had a premiere reading in New York. In addition, New York’s Irish Repertory Theatre has just commissioned Younger to write the stage adaptation of Peter Quinn's novel Banished Children of Eve.

Select works include: I Think You Think I Love You (Playscripts; Smith and Kraus anthology Best Plays of 2005); Forgive me, Father (JAC publishing); Lady Gregory’s Ingredients (JAC publishing), winner of the Ireland National Lady Gregory Playwriting Award; Off Compass, winner of the 2007 John Gassner New Play Award through SUNY Stony Brook; Once a Marine; Epiphany Cake; and Why Wyoming, Critics’ Choice Samuel French off-Broadway Festival.

Several monologues from Younger’s plays appear in various anthologies from Smith and Kraus as well as Playscripts, and an excerpt of Younger’s translation of Trojan Women appears in Beth Henley’s play Revelers (Dramatists Play Service).

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Younger earned an MA in Classics at Loyola University Chicago and PhD in Drama Studies from University College Dublin in Ireland. He is currently an Associate Professor of English at Loyola Marymount University where he leads workshops in Playwriting and teaches courses in Dramatic Literature.

He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.
