Kira Obolensky is an award-winning writer and playwright who lives in Minneapolis. The recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including the Guggenheim, the Kesselring Prize and a Mellon Foundation Playwright Residency, Kira has spent her career considering how to create works that can intersect with audiences from many different backgrounds.
