writing

Rebecca writes plays, comedy, and journalism. She's interested in finding the silly and the serious in each other, tight-knit communities, and questions about religion and culture. Her nonfiction often weaves reporting with cultural criticism and a strong first-person narrative. ​Her writing has been published in The Forward, The New Haven Independent, Alma, and HowlRound Theatre Commons. At Yale, Rebecca was awarded the James S. Metcalfe Prize for the best essay about theater. She graduated as a Yale Journalism Scholar and, in 2024, wrote more and slept less than any other  two week period of her life as a fellow of the O'Neill's National Critics Institute.

Rebecca co-wrote the web series i'm so happy for you!!!!!! with Ihea Inyama and Charlotte Polk and is developing a new play about a krav maga class in a synagogue basement. She is also on Substack.
