GRACE EVERETT

Hey there! My name is Grace, (she/her) and I'm happy you're here!

 

I am a proud queer woman and an autistic self-advocate who is always happy to help educate others about accessibility and disability activism. I hope to spread awareness and acceptance through my favorite forms of self-expression... performing and writing! I am also currently a student at The Theatre School at DePaul University, where I am a part of their BFA Playwriting program and pursuing a certification in Disability Studies.

 

I have been active in the arts since age nine. I first started out with improv, and later moved on to community theatre. Some of my favorite musical theatre roles I've played are the title role in Carrie and Jo March in Little Women, as well as originating the title role in a new musical about a young artist with autism, Raven's Stars, in 2023.

​

I was a writer from the time I could read, but I started writing plays at age 15. My first play, The Last Sunrise of August 1973, is award-winning, and several of my other plays have been performed across America by various community theatre and educational companies, including my most recent work, The Adventures of Spectrum Sparks: a play that, while it is for EVERYONE, was written with a neurodivergent/autistic young audience in mind. ​

I'm so glad you decided to check out my website. I can't wait to get to know each other better!
