Chiara M. N. (she/her) is a playwright, bookwriter, and lyricist who received her MFA in Musical Theater Writing at NYU Tisch in 2025. She believes in the power of the written word to start a conversation about the general messiness of life and, most importantly, how to overcome its obstacles. What does that mean? – stories about mental health, social issues, and/or complicated relationships (often with a dash of magic or fantasy).

Chiara is also a director, stage manager, and producer who has worked in a variety of contexts from children’s theater to an immersive haunted house. Alongside her work in the theater, Chiara is an award-winning and published poet, a screenwriter, and novelist.
