Claire 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 have been developed by Primary Stages, The Playwrights Realm, Chicago Dramatists, The Tank, The Barrow Group, The Playwrights Group, and Oregon Contemporary Theatre. She has also been commissioned by LMC Productions and The Barrow Group.

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