Olivia Ridley is a New Jersey-based writer. In 2018, her play SLUSH, which explored the similarly topical issue of assisted suicide, was selected to be performed at Luna Stage in NJ. Though she is deeply passionate about playwriting, she also has an extensive background as a performer, working primarily with Vanguard Theater Company in NJ. And her passions extend beyond theater; she loves writing/performing poetry when she can, and enjoys political science and philosophy as well. In her art, Olivia hopes to expose the nuance of “taboo” topics and spark much needed conversation, seeking to educate not only the audience, but herself as well in the process.
