ABOUT

Alice writes dark bubblegum.

She is currently co-writing a horror comedy feature with Alison Brie and the inaugural animated series for Mattel’s upcoming doll line. Her latest play THE GREAT PONY will be workshopped at The Broadwater in Hollywood this fall, and her indie sapphic pop culture mystery novella GAY LORE is currently on its third restock at Skylight Books. She has written eighteen BARBIE animated series–including Barbie’s newest musical special LOST IN DOLL WORLD.

Previously, Alice was a writer/producer for Amy Poehler’s podcast series SAY MORE (NYT “Best Podcasts of 2023”), THE CHRIS CHATMAN DO-OVER, and WOMEN TALKIN’ ‘BOUT MURDER. Other TV/film writing credits include American Girl’s 2026 Girl of the Year, BUSY TONIGHT (EP Tina Fey), MOXIE (dir. Amy Poehler), several Mattel x Disney Princess projects, THE 2020 GLAAD Awards, and assorted online content for the climate studio YELLOW DOT (EP Adam McKay).

Alice has developed and/or sold film and TV projects with Adam McKay’s Hyperobject Industries, CJ Entertainment (Parasite), Katie Krentz’s 219 Productions, Eric Christian Olsen’s Cloud 9, Mattel, Kenan Thompson’s Artists For Artists, and Adam Goodman’s Invisible Narratives. Her dark comedy pilot TWIN PINKS is on The 2024 Out Loud List , her eco-terrorism comedy MEAT CUTE was a finalist in NBC Universal’s 2022 Climate Summit Pitchfest, and her unhinged SCREAM spec was on the 2022 Stunt List.

On the theatre front, Alice was a finalist for the 2023 Relentless Award, which honors Philip Seymour Hoffman’s relentless pursuit of truth in theatre. Her dark comedy play THE SECOND BEST SCHOOL SHOOTING has had six workshops and gunning for its world premiere, pun intended. If you are interested in producing an indie or educational version of this play, you totally can–guide here.

Other theatre productions/workshops include collaborations with The Goodman, Victory Gardens, Chicago Dramatists, Now & Then, The Ethical Society of St. Louis, New Musicals Inc., and Must B Nice. Dramaturgy credits include Beth May’s solo show BETH WANTS THE D (winner of the Mental Health Foundation Edinburgh Fringe Award 2025), the 2021 Festival of New American Theatre, and the macabre musical THE MOUNTAIN DIGBY (EP Charlie Barnett).

Alice performs at UCB with the improvised musical BABY WANTS CANDY and was a proud cast member of their 2019 five-star, sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run. Related, she is featured in season two of Dropout TV’s musical improv show PLAY IT BY EAR and season three of DIRTY LAUNDRY.

Before moving to Los Angeles, Alice was a Chicago Public Schools teacher, a disability resource advocate, director of an anti-Islamophobia playwriting program for underserved high schoolers, and toured with The Second City. She studied playwriting at a weird-ass little conservative Christian college and later at the academic powerhouse Arizona State University.

Alice’s culture essays have appeared in Compound Butter Magazine, HowlRound Theater Journal, and The Chicago Tribune. Her hobbies include mentoring for WriteGirl LA, volunteering with Sunrise Movement, and wolfing pastries.
