Ella Boyd-Wong is a San Francisco-born, Chicago-based scriptwriter and arts administrator.
​
Her latest script presentations were with the Athenaeum Writers Showcase, where she highlighted an excerpt from an original crime thriller, and with the Outer Loop Theatre Experience, where she has shown original comedy sketches, all supported by acclaimed local performers. Ella's involvement in the independent theatre community includes creative education with the Second City Training Center and the Chicago Dramatists Guild.

Ella supports Chicago's creative community as an arts administrator as a company member with Sandbox Theatre Collective and Lazy Susan Theatre Co and as a house manager with local stage theatres.

and foster personal connections and collaborations to challenge outdated and over-competitive dynamics within the theatre community.
