Cassandra Rose

Instructor

Cassandra is over the moon to be back at Writopia Lab after a year away! As a playwright, she followed up a BA in Playwriting at Columbia College Chicago with a decade of theatrical self-productions and residencies, including Chicago Dramatists' Tutterow Fellowship. She made the move to LA and screenwriting in 2019 and completed a certificate in Writing for Television at UCLA's Professional Program. She won Austin Film Festival in 2022 with her scripted Digital Series WALK INTO A BAR. She’s also written for video games and fiction podcasts, including as a Narrative Designer for a small mobile game company and as a contract writer for Wondery. No matter the format or genre, she's here to help young writers connect deeply with their stories and with their audiences.
