Hilary Bettis

Hilary Bettis is a critically-acclaimed playwright, TV writer, and filmmaker. She hails from a Chicana mother who grew up on the border and a Southern father who grew up Methodist. Her work is a culmination of these cultures, exploring the American identity through a working-class Latinx lens. Her plays have been developed and produced all over the US and Mexico. Theater accolades include Egerton Foundation New Play Awards, National Endowment for the Arts Grant, Pulitzer nomination, and a finalist for the Blackburn Prize, among others. She's under commission at Roundabout Theatre, Miami New Drama, Untitled Theatricals, and is writing the Broadway musical book "Lives in Limbo" with Sergio Trujillo, Michelle Rodriguez, and Julio Reyes Copello. She's an alumni of the Sundance Institute Episodic TV Lab, a graduate of The Juilliard School, and proud member of the WGAEast.
