“The strangest story came from Micheline Auger.
- New York Times”
Micheline Auger’s work spans playwriting, screenwriting, journalism, producing, and film directing. From her award-winning debut with Poop - A True Story, based on her avant-garde experience as a living art piece in a downtown NYC gallery, Micheline has continually pushed the boundaries of storytelling.
Featured in American Theater Magazine, the NY Times, NPR, Bust Magazine, and New York Magazine, Micheline crafts stories that captivate, challenge, and resonate with the issues of the day.
For her screenwriting, she has been recognized by the Writers Lab, an initiative backed by Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman and the Austin Film Festival, among others. Her short film script Dead Girls was a Sundance Collab Top Pick, while her directorial debut, Little Piggy, garnered Best Director by the UVFA, as well as clinching a nomination for Most Outrageous at the Orlando Film Festival.
On the theater front, Micheline's playwriting has received numerous accolades including Outstanding Original Full-Length Script by the New York Innovative Theater Awards, Time Out NY Critics’ Pick for her off-Broadway hit Donkey Punch, a Kennedy Center David Mark Cohen Award nomination and the National Theatre Conference’s Paul Green Award by none other than veteran Broadway producer Liz McCann. Micheline's theatrical contributions have been developed and produced by a constellation of prestigious venues and companies, including the Farm Theater, Dixon Place, Primary Stages and The Flea Theater.
As a creator and producer, she has showcased the talents of hundreds of up-and-coming and award-winning playwrights, including Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Adly Guirgis and Obie-Winner Dael Orlandersmith in her playwriting installation Write Out Front which took place in the window of the iconic Drama Bookshop, furthering her commitment to the craft of storytelling and garnering her a People of the Year Award by Indie Theater Now..
