Maryhee Yoon

Playwright Actor Book-Writer/Lyricist Dramaturg

(She/Her) I'm a queer Korean American playwright and actor with a passion for telling stories that centre my communities. I strive to find a balance between celebrating who we are and honoring our collective grief, with the overall aim to harbor healing through my work.
