Avery L. Ingvarson is a Manhattan-based playwright, dramaturg, and director (often also a photographer, producer, performer or art historian).

They believe deeply that theatre is the ultimate collaborative art form, that life is for making art with and for their community and loved ones, and that the 1960 Lerner and Loewe musical Camelot can be fixed. They’re drawn to projects that are surreal, gender expansive, and interpersonal.

Avery is currently working on a 2025 writing project to write twelve new full length plays this calendar year. They’ve completed 5/12, two of which (Who Do You Think I Am and Don’t Jump) are currently up on New Play Exchange for anyone who would like to read them. Don’t Jump will be performed at The Tank on August 9th as part of LimeFest.

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.
