The Morrigan Theatre Co was founded in 2024 by Lori Herrmann and Kaitlynn McShea-Jones. The Morrigan Theatre Company strives to highlight the intersectional and diverse relationships of all women, illustrating both the struggles and profound connections that define family, friendship, and love, both inside and outside of the theatre. We pledge to uplift and support the voices of all women in theatre and beyond, both new and old, in order to honor our collective history while driving playwriting and theatre forward to the future.
