Tanya O'Debra is a New York City-based playwright, screenwriter and performer. She won The Denis Johnston Playwriting Award, The Elizabeth Wanning Harries Prize, The Ada Comstock Magic Grant, The Jill Cummins MacLean Prize, Best of the San Francisco Fringe Festival, and most importantly, the Miss Fag Hag Pageant. She has a shiny new MFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and she’s hoping that with enough degrees and prizes no one will notice she’s actually a dumpster rat in a wig and a ballgown.
