The human behind the mayhem
Meet Ava Love Hanna.
Ava Love Hanna is a playwright, comedy writer, and award-winning speaker who is continually amazed by how often she is mistaken for a real grown-up. Her plays have been performed over 200 times across four countries, appeared in the Smith & Kraus Best Ten Minute Plays anthologies, earned numerous awards and nominations, and been selected for ScriptWorks’ Out of Ink showcase seven times. (Possibly a record. She’s not NOT saying it’s a record.)
whispers: It’s not all cool accomplishments in there, FYI. One time, someone asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and I accidentally said, “a basketball.” So, there’s some really cool stuff and then stuff like THAT.
“The writing is smart. Under the funny jokes, it has something to say about dreamers who follow their own paths and don’t let tradition or society’s pressures stand in their way.”

"I get to create the worlds I actually want to live in — filled with living puppets, dancing bears, wolves named Brad, and, most importantly, characters who can say the things that I've always needed to say."
The Short Story is a bi-weekly curated collection of things to read, watch, or think about relating to a central theme.
Like a good short story, I’m aiming for thoughtful brevity, with just enough material to give us something to ponder or make us laugh before we jump back into our day.
