Claire (she/her) is a New York-based playwright and screenwriter from the ocean and mountains of New England. She writes darkly comic and absurd plays centered on themes of grief, hypocrisy, power, disrupted notions of “place” in society, and disbelonging.

Her plays include THE BOX OFFICE (2022), ADIRONDACK CHAIR MISSING PLEASE RETURN OR ELSE! (2023), and THE SCOUTS OF AMERICA DON’T SELL COOKIES, B*TCH (2024). THE SCOUTS was selected as a finalist for the Echoes Writers’ Program at Primary Stages, and the PlayGround Experiment’s Faces of America Monologue Festival. ADIRONDACK was workshopped at Playwrights Realm and Primary Stages and selected as a semi-finalist for The Barr Hill Players Fellowship. THE BOX OFFICE appeared at The Tank in October 2023 (d. Claire Marieb). Her plays have been workshopped at Primary Stages, The Playwrights Realm, The Barrow Group, The Playwrights Group, Chicago Dramatists, Oregon Contemporary Theatre, and Jaclyn Backhaus’ Writers’ Bootcamp. Claire is a member of For, About, and By (F.A.B.) Women, a theatre development company at The Barrow Group. She is currently working on a new play about a group of three domestic violence advocates (working title: THE CALLING).

Film/tv writing includes a television series called LADY COPS (LMC Productions), which received awards from BlueCat Screenplay Competition and the WRPN Global Webisode Competition and was selected by the LA Independent Women Film Awards. She has also written short films, including DAWN (co-writer: Jessica Mercedes), and MOVING SCATTERED (Holly Shorts Screenplay Competition; Filmmatic Screenplay Competition; Vail Film Festival Screenplay Competition).

When she isn’t writing, Claire researches intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and substance use, and has a few publications on the subject. She is also a trained domestic violence survivor advocate. Claire loves being outside, binge watching tv, treating biking in NYC like a fun little video game, and making herself do improv at UCB.
