Alara Magritte (she/her) is a songwriter, playwright, and art director whose work finds itself enamored with the spectacle of the mundane and situated in the space between the grotesque and the gorgeous. She is a 2015 California Playwrights' Project winner for her piece "The Tangible Tollbooth." She has worked with many theatre organizations including Playwrights Foundation, the New York Musical Festival, Playdate Theatre, and Tony Award-winning TheatreWorks: Silicon Valley, as well as had her work featured across the country at La Jolla Playhouse, The Connelly Theatre, The Duplex, Midnight Theatre, and more. Alongside Daniel Rosen, she co-wrote and produced the original festive holiday collection "This Year," and the spine-tingling Halloween album, Magritte and Rosen’s House of Haunts. Her snowmantic song “Snow One Else For Me” was recently featured at Maestra Music’s First Takes Series. She holds a BA in Playwriting from Purchase College and continues to investigate the limits of storytelling through music.
