Carissa J. Ater (she/her) is an up-and-coming theatre maker based in the United States! She recently graduated magna cum laude from Point Park University, where she received a BFA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in playwriting and a Technical Theatre Design & Production minor where she focused on stage management and audio design. Anyone who has worked with her knows that Carissa is a proud member of the “do-it-all” club; although she may have a couple favorites, she rarely finds an aspect of theatre-making that she doesn’t enjoy.
Carissa centers her work around building community, uplifting new perspectives, and fostering a sense of openness, creativity, and joy.
