Hi! I’m Alyssa Haddad-Chin.

I’m a Brooklyn-based Lebanese American playwright, sometimes educator, occasional dramaturg and always arts facilitator from Upstate, NY.

Here’s some of the work I’ve made with the help of others

While you’re perusing, I’m going to tell you about myself in the third person. Please bear with me in the name of professionalism. Ready?

… okay, here we go

She is the recipient of the 2025 American Blues Theater Blue Ink Award for Playwriting, an official selection for the 2026 Colorado New Play Summit at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and under commission at Noor Theatre.

Her work has been developed with NYTW, The Playwrights Realm, Clubbed Thumb, Mercury Store, Keen Company, Premiere Stages at Kean, The People’s Theatre, B Street Theatre, Target Margin Theater, to name a few.

She is the Community Director at Target Margin Theater, a Resident Artist at Breaking & Entering Theater Collective, a New Georges Affiliated Artist, and a member of the Dramatists Guild. She received her MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.

Her work typically grapples with our world, identity, and discomfort through surrealism, magic, and absurdity and is mostly funny until it’s not.

But enough about me, how are you?
