"It's so important to have that outlook of everyone is human, everyone is worthy, but I also think it's important, for me, and for everyone to protect ourselves. [As a sensitive child growing up] to protect myself, I dove into movies, I dove into playwriting when I couldn't get that connection from anywhere else. The Arts is what saved me."
Stephanie Okun is a playwright/screenwriter/director. She is a recent graduate of Wesleyan University, student at NYU’s Educational Theatre MA program, and proud former intern/current member of New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT). At a young age, she discovered her love for playwriting and pursued it at Stephen Sondheim’s Young Playwrights Inc., an organization that changed her life. For her, theater is home and she’s always thrilled to be there.
