Isabel Estelle

Isabel Estelle (they/them/theirs) is a trans playwright and actor based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. An Ashland native, they received a B.A. in theater arts from the University of Minnesota and have worked with companies such as The Chameleon Theatre Circle, Picnic Basket Theatre, and Park Square Theatre. Isabel facilitates discussions and workshops with high school students to develop new plays that are designed for young adult theater artists, and which speak to the unique challenges teenagers are expected to face in today’s world. Isabel’s work primarily centers queer and womens’ stories and aims to explore the overlaps between humor, grief, and magic. Their goal as a playwright is to tell stories about human experience in a way that leans into live theater’s specific strengths as a medium, and embraces our thousands of years long connection with music, movement, and playing pretend.
