Steph Del Rosso

Steph Del Rosso is a playwright, fiction writer, screenwriter, and educator. Her work has been produced or developed at Second Stage Theater, The Public, La Jolla Playhouse, the Kennedy Center, JACK, and others. She is a Core Writer at the Playwrights' Center, a New Georges Audrey Resident, and a winner of the Steinberg Playwright Award and the Mississippi Review Prize in Fiction.

Steph Del Rosso will work on Rank and File, a new play that weaves together the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire in 1911, the Bread and Roses strike in 1912, and a unionizing effort in contemporary New York. Rejecting the Girl Boss myth in favor of stories of collective power, the play will focus on the multi-ethnic coalition of women workers who led the 20th century labor movement, while drawing on the author's own organizing experiences and the deep friendships born from them.
