Rona Moriah is a librettist, lyricist, playwright, and screenwriter. Her work has been presented at Berklee NYC, The Green Room 42, The Cutting Room, 54 Below, and Classic Stage Company.

 

Rona has written theater and films about characters of all ages, from a musical about elementary schoolers to an elderly woman and her creative scammers. ​Rona loves stories that portray growth and struggle as part of a collective experience. We are more connected than at any moment in history (for better or for worse), and her stories take place within a shifting dynamic that is unprecedented in our history.

 

Her stories celebrate the awkward dances of togetherness, the tender, tangled moments when we’re called to show up for each other, and the quiet power of walking away.

 

Rona is dedicated to writing stories without clear answers, believing that theater should inspire conversations between audience members to evaluate how they feel about a situation or character using their life experiences and perspectives. 

 

Rona is the 2020 recipient of Boston University’s Humanities Scholars Award. She was a finalist for Write Out Loud Volume Six and a finalist for Parlando School of Music's New Musical Project. She holds a Bachelor's degree in English literature from Boston University/Kilachand Honors College and a Master of Arts in Writing and Design for Musical Theater from Berklee NYC. Currently, Rona is an artist in residence at Vox Feminarum, and her new musical Wilderness! will make its off-Broadway debut in the SheNYC Arts festival at Classic Stage Company in the summer of 2025. She is currently teaching herself how to play the Bouzouki and edit video in Final Cut Pro.
