Annie Jin Wang

LA Opera: dramaturg for Hildegard (2025, debut).

Annie Jin Wang (she/hers) is a first-generation Chinese-American dramaturg and writer working across the United States with a focus on decolonizing the artistic process. From new play development to revitalizing classic texts for today’s audiences, Annie’s body of work primarily investigates constructs of race, gender, and citizenship through a compassionate and critical lens. Fluidly moving between live performance, film/tv, and interactive mediums, she works closely with writers, directors, and other generative artists at all stages of their practice to articulate their fullest visions within inquiry-based processes that are healthy, fearless, and joyful.

As a dramaturg, Annie has developed new work with Beth Morrison Projects, NYC PAC, Signature Theatre, the Public Theatre's Emerging Writers Group, the O'Neill National Playwrights and Musical Theatre Conferences, Yangzte Repertory Theatre, Theater Mu, the Playwrights' Center, CHUANG Stage, Musical Theatre Factory, and the National Theatre of Croatia, among others. As a generative artist, Annie is an inaugural recipient of the Wellesley Repertory Theatre Grant, and her work has been developed through Soho Rep, Target Margin Theater, Ferocious Lotus Theatre Company, Fresh Ground Pepper, and PlayGround-NY. 

Annie currently serves as the Associate Artistic Director at East West Players in Los Angeles. Previously, she was the Associate Director for Artistic Programming at PlayCo, and held adjunct faculty positions at BerkleeNYC and Marymount Manhattan College. Annie holds an MFA in Dramaturgy from Columbia University School of the Arts and BAs in Art History and Cinema & Media Studies from Wellesley College.
