Ariel Mitchell hails from a small island in the Chesapeake Bay. She earned her BA in Playwriting (Music minor) April 2013 from Brigham Young University. She has written several plays including Give Me Moonlight and A Second Birth, for which she was awarded the KCACTF Harold and Mimi Steinberg 2013 National Student Playwriting Award, third place for the 2013 David Mark Cohen Award, and the 2011 Vera Hinckley Mayhew Award. She has also dramaturged many productions including The Completely Fictional - Utterly True - Strange Final Tale of Edgar Allan Poe at Centerstage in Baltimore, Steel Magnolias at the Echo Theatre in Provo, Utah, What the Bellhop Saw at the Utah Repertory Theater in Murray, Utah, and Selections from Gone Missing and The Cleverest Thief, a devised piece, at BYU. While she has written plays, screenplays, and a TV pilot, musicals are her first love. She began her writing career in her sophomore year of high school with Mask Club (book, lyrics, and some music), a musical about high school students choosing and changing their identities like masks. She is currently working on MORMONish, an autobiographical comedy she hopes to turn into a musical. MORMONish tells the story of a high school girl with a Jewish mother and Mormon father. Conflicted and confused by her very opinionated family and their conditional love, she must decide how she wants to live her life, what she believes, and where she should go to college. She is currently attending New York University's MFA program in Muscial Theatre Writing.
Research: Member of the Dramatists Guild of America (as at 2015)

Born as the daughter of poor Afghani parents, Nasima's position in society is already compromised. So she has been raised as a boy since the age of five to improve the family's social and economic standing in the community. When Nasima is forced to abandon her employment and education in order to (re)learn how to be a girl so she can marry, she must confront her past relationships and future traditions to discover who she truly is.
