About Shira

​​​

 

Shira is a multi-genre writer and creative producer. She writes plays, screenplays, short stories, articles - and she loves to help others bring their ideas to life. Primarily a comedy writer, she's worked in writers rooms across genres (most recently: Fallout S1) and as a creative producer at Blue Monday Productions. Focusing on Jewish Feminist art, she has worked as a producer on A Feminist Lens: The Art and Activism of Joan Roth, as a contributing writer at Lilith Magazine, and as a literary fellow at The Braid. 

​

Shira wrote the stageplay Yom Kippur Abortion during her writing fellowship with JewFace , which played at The Samuel French OOB Festival in the Summer of 2024. A film adaptation is currently in development.

As a true bicoastal, she splits her time between LA and NYC (& NJ...which is underrated). She enjoys working with teens, primarily as a writing coach, which is kind of like being a therapist. She studied Film Studies and Women & Gender studies at Muhlenberg College.  She is passionate about reproductive rights, mental health, Feminist politics/history/philosophy, animals, and hanging out.
