Aly Kantor is a playwright and performer from Long Island, New York, and a proud member of The Dramatists Guild. Her award-winning, internationally-produced work is boldly femme-forward, often queer-affirming, and delightfully subversive.

To date, Aly’s work has been staged in half of the United States, and she’s actively working on the other half! She also has several plays and monologues in print through Smith & Kraus and Applause Books. Aly’s play Blowhole was a 2025 semifinalist for the Blue Ink Award, and her play Murdering Medea won the 2024 Telling Stories Prize. She is also a Creative Associate with EastLine Theatre, where many of her full-length plays have begun their artistic journeys.

Aly’s stories, whether radical myth adaptations or ghostly thrillers, spark conversation and linger long after the curtain falls. To learn more about Aly’s work, visit www.alykantor.com, or find her on NPX.
