ANNIE JIN WANG is a first-generation Chinese-American dramaturg and writer working across the United States with a focus on decolonizing the artistic process. From new play development to revitalizing classic texts for today’s audiences, Annie’s body of work primarily investigates constructs of race, gender, and citizenship through a compassionate and critical lens. She works closely with playwrights, directors, and other generative artists at all stages of their practice to articulate their fullest vision, and encourages inquiry-based artistic processes that are healthy, fearless, and joyful. In addition to live theatre, she has facilitated development and revision processes for opera, film, television, literature, and game design.

As a dramaturg, Annie is currently supporting new projects in development at Beth Morrison Projects, Signature Theatre, Fresh Ink Theatre & CHUANG Stage, and NYC PAC. Her collaborators have received recognition from The Public’s Emerging Writers Group, Musical Theatre Factory, Live & In Color, Ensemble Studio Theatre, The O’Neill National Playwrights and Musical Theatre Conferences, the Playwrights’ Center, and the Bay Area Playwrights Foundation, among others. She is currently adjunct faculty at Marymount Manhattan College and guest faculty at BerkleeNYC.

As a generative artist, Annie is a recipient of the inaugural Wellesley Repertory Theatre Grant. She was a member of the 2022-23 Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab with Carolina Đỗ, and has received a Target Margin Space residency with Cinthia Chen. Her writing has also been developed with Fresh Ground Pepper and she was a member of the inaugural PlayGround-NY Writers’ Pool. Recent publications include The Brooklyn Rail.

Annie currently serves as the Associate Director for Artistic Programming at PlayCo and the Artistic Associate at Theater Mu, where she co-facilitates the Mu Emerging Playwrights’ Circle. Annie holds an MFA in Dramaturgy from Columbia University School of the Arts and BAs in Art History & Cinema and Media Studies from Wellesley College.

She supports, among many other causes, ending cash bail and reclaiming food sovereignty in the US.
