The Writer

Taylor Geu was born in Yankton, South Dakota. Her first publication was a weekly comic book they passed around the playground in 4th grade. They learned general audiences were philistines. Since then, she’s become passionate about gender abolition and social justice, centering them in her scripts for stage and screen. A surrealist and fantasist, she’s interested in using the weird and spectacular to aid audiences in reconsidering what it means to be human beyond the usual societal script and norms. 

Geu’s play Adolsy was produced as part of the “2022 Dream Up Festival” at Theater for the New City. As a playwright, Geu is a semifinalist for the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference (twice), Bay Area Playwrights Festival (three times), and Blue Ink Playwriting Award; a finalist for the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival One-Act Play Contest; and a Second Rounder in the Austin Film Festival Playwriting Competition. Geu is co-writer and voices the main character for the podcast Roxx Populi, an episodic audio drama following the transfeminine master thief Roxx Populi. www.taylordoddgeu.com

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
