Hi there! I'm Susan Bachner, a writer and performer whose work spans theatre, television writing, and comedy. I’ve created plays produced Off Broadway in NYC, TV pilots that advanced in competitions, and live sketch performances. My education includes a Fellowship in Screenwriting at Columbia University sponsored by the Writers Guild of America, East. I’m passionate about crafting character-driven stories and punchy dialogue, and I love collaborating with theatre companies, fellow writers, and performers to bring ideas from concept to stage, screen, or podcast. I continue to explore new formats—from short plays to podcast storytelling—while staying focused on storytelling that connects with audiences and celebrates creativity, collaboration, and a good laugh.
