Youngblood is Ensemble Studio Theatre’s OBIE-winning collective of emerging professional playwrights under the age of 30. Mikhaela Mahony has worked closely with the playwrights of this program since 2012, and at every level of production: from readings, to brunches (Youngblood’s monthly series of short plays), to fully-staged workshops, to main stage productions. She has had the privilege to collaborate with member playwrights Brittany K. Allen, Will Arbery, Chiara Atik, Gillian Beth Durkee, Jahna Ferron-Smith, Eric March, Anna Moench, Ming Pfeiffer, Christina Quintana, Abby Rosebrock, Kristin Slaney, Christopher Sullivan, Michael Walek, and Susan Yassky.
