Ali’s half-hour dark comedy, Lady Killer, which also received the Writers For Writers fellowship, and was a finalist in the WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Competition, is advancing to the finalist round in the Orchard Project.
For ten years, the Orchard Project has been a preeminent engine of new work in the theater world, helping over 200 shows develop and go on to stages as big as Broadway and as small as a basement in Sweden. Their shows have garnered acclaim, from TONY and Obie awards to life in television and the big screen.
Orchard alumni include hit Broadway show All The way, starring Bryan Cranston, off-Broadway sensation Taylor Mac, and theatre/television crossovers like Annie Baker (I Love Dick), Bekkah Brunsetter (This Is Us), and Jennifer Crittenden (Veep).
