About

Mik Johnson (she/him) is a gender/queer Black playwright, actor and graphic artist from San Antonio, TX. He writes for the communities he’s from—for the Black and brown communities back home, the queer community he’s found, and the many others that have raised and welcomed him through the years. She holds a BA in Theater and Ethnicity, Race and Migration from Yale University. Mik is also a 2019 National YoungArts Winner in Theater and is currently a 2024-25 Writing Fellow with the Playwright's Realm. His other works include SAPPHIRE, after jezebel (selected for the 2024 Yale Playwright's Festival), and East of Mercy (2024 Marina Keegan Prize Winner). When she’s not writing, Mik can be found cooking vegan meals with meat, soapboxing about children’s education, or dancing (with or without music involved).
