Sierra Rosetta holds a BA in Theatre from Northwestern College-Iowa. She is a Native American theater artist and scholar (Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe) whose work focuses on Ojibwe stories, Indigenous archives, public humanities, dramaturgy, and Indigenous resistance in performance and media, particularly at the Hayward Indian Boarding School. Named one of Theatre Communication Group’s “Rising Leaders of Color” in 2024, Sierra wears many hats in her dramaturgy, playwriting, acting, and academic practices. As both a production and new-play dramaturg, her work has been seen at Goodman Theatre, Northwestern University, Native Voices, Hedgepig Theatre Ensemble, and various individual sessions with playwrights. Her research and practice focuses on incorporating Indigenous dramaturgy methodologies into theatrical practice. She is the founder of the dramaturgy mentorship program at Native Voices Theater in LA, where she also works as the Literary Associate and pairs emerging Native dramaturgs with career dramaturgs for one-on-one mentorship at Native Voices’ various festivals. Her literary work started at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in 2023 where she worked as a Literary Fellow after winning the Kennedy Center American Collegiate Theatre Festival national dramaturgy award in 2023. As a playwright, Sierra was the winner of Yale University’s Indigenous Performing Arts Program Young Native Playwright award in 2024.
