Mila Sumrall
Playwright
As a playwright, I am most passionate about two things: women and horror.
​
My work is female-centric. It is expressed through a distinctly feminine lens.
​
I love to write horror. I find it to be a fantastic medium to explore emotions and sensations that are often hard to verbalize. I am fascinated with curating a sense of dread in a live setting.
