Jennie Webb is an independent Los Angeles playwright, currently in residence at Rogue Machine (where her dark retail comedy "Yard Sale Signs" premiered) and Theatricum Botanicum (where she runs workshops and "Botanicum Seedlings: A Development Series for Playwrights"). Her plays, including "Remodeling Plans," "Unclaimed Assets," "GreenHouse," "On Tuesday," "It's Not About Race," and "Buying a House," have been produced in LA (most recently at Theatre of NOTE, Santa Monica Rep. and GLO2014), on stages across the country and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She has been a part of The Playwright Center's PlayLabs, Great Plains Theatre Conference, Little Black Dress INK Female Playwrights ONSTAGE Festivals, the Virginia Avenue Project and The Road Theatre's Summer Playwrights Festival with plays including "The Complete Story of the War," "Color Separation," "Rebecca on the Bus" and "Crazy Bitch"; her work is published by Heinemann Press and ICWP. She is a member of The Playwrights Union, EST/LA's Playwrights Unit, Fell Swoop Playwrights and the PlayGround-LA writer's pool. She is the recipient of a Women in Theatre Red Carpet Award, and co-founded and acts as editor-at-large for the Los Angeles Female Playwrights Initiative (LA FPI). Asked to describe her own work, Jennie uses the term "domestic absurdism." She writes complex women characters and believes in tackling difficult subject matter in unexpected ways and through darkly comic choices. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and housecats Molly and Mick.
