Kirsten Greenidge is an American playwright. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, she wrote plays while growing up and decided to become a playwright after seeing August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. Greenidge majored in U.S. history at Wesleyan University, where she first studied playwriting. After graduating, she studied at the Playwrights Workshop at the University of Iowa. Her plays often explore race, gender, and class with an emphasis on underrepresented actors of color and women. Greenidge’s work includes Milk Like Sugar, which won the Village Voice Obie Award, and Baltimore, commissioned by a program to address a lack of roles for female acting students.

Greenidge is a playwright-in-residence at Company One Theatre in Boston and was named Boston’s Playwright Laureate. She is the Director of the School of Theatre and Associate Professor of Playwriting at Boston University. There, she has created a New Works program with a series of workshops and development experiences aimed at helping students create and produce new works alongside their peers.
