Avery L. Ingvarson is a Manhattan-based playwright, dramaturg, director, art historian, and performer committed to accessible leftist theatre.

They’re passionate about theatre that is gender expansive, surreal, and about creating spaces on stage and in the rehearsal room that are inclusive and covid conscious (yes, even in 2024).

Avery believes deeply that theatre is the ultimate collaborative art form, that life is all about making art collaboratively, and that the 1960 Lerner and Loewe musical Camelot can be fixed.

In their dreams, they live in the closest NYPL branch and spend their days commissioned to write plays about dramatic Realist artists like Gustave Courbet and James Abbott McNeill Whistler.

B: We're the same, you know. Even if you don't want to admit it.

A: Unlovable? 

B: Um. I meant scared. But that, too. We probably all are. Unlovable, and scared, and all too aware of both of those things.
