Abby Rosebrock is a writer and performer from the Carolinas. Acting highlights include a range of leading roles in New York premieres. Her play Dido of Idaho recently won several 2025 Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards, among them Best Original Writing. Her new play Lowcountry, called a “masterpiece of millennial rage” (TheatreMania), premiered Off-Broadway this year at the Atlantic Theater. Critics have described her work as “Beth Henley infused with a few drops of Martin McDonagh’s deranged fierceness” (Los Angeles Times) and “nimbly balanced on a knife edge between weird, excitingly uncomfortable comedy and deep, hideous pain” (New York Magazine).

Abby’s original works have been developed and produced throughout New York City and across the country. Additional residencies and commissioning organizations include Manhattan Theatre Club, Williamstown, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Echo Theatre LA, Bristol Riverside Theatre, Montana Rep, and more.

A recording of the Atlantic’s acclaimed production of Blue Ridge is available for viewing at the Lincoln Center NYPL.
