Playwright

I was privileged wit the opportunity to be the first student in SUNY Fredonia’s history to write a full length play that was selected by the Department of Theater and Dance to appear on the University’s 2023-2024 MainStage season. In conjunction with this production, I had the honor to have this play transfer to the Alleyway Theater in Buffalo as part of their Alleyworks reading series.

Through the use of hyper-theatricality and puppetry, MASON WRIGHT IS NOT A MOTHER explores themes of consent, trauma and medical malpractice against women. In this courageous new play by Ashley Giaccio, a senior at SUNY Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance, we follow Mason, a young woman coming to grips with the realities of her past, finding peace with her identity, and searching for a new understanding of love, healing, and what it means to be a mother.
