Grace Goheen (she/her) is a playwright, director, and engineer — her work lives at the intersection of technology and storytelling, innovating new interactive methods to invite audiences to become a part of the story. Her play All the Difference (produced by Ram’s Head Theatrical Society) asks: what happens when the audience feels they are responsible for the content of the show and the experience of the characters? Facilitated by a custom-designed app, audience members make six decisions throughout the play, each one dramatically changing the story that plays out on stage. Her writing draws on metatheatricality and melodrama — styles and forms that remind the audience that theater can’t happen without them. As a director, she is drawn to contemporary works with strong ensembles, and has worked on plays from Singularity (Leviathan Lab) to Stupid Fucking Bird (Stanford Theater Lab). She is a graduate of Stanford University, where she received a B.S. in Management Science & Engineering and studied playwriting with Young Jean Lee. Outside of theater, she’s a product manager for an open-core data company, and has spoken at data conferences dressed as an alien, a wizard, and Ms. Frizzle.
