Pallas Gutierrez is a queer Latine writer, designer, and educator. Their work examines how identities and relationships impact our lives, and questions whether traditional linear structure is the most effective way of telling stories. Pallas more frequently writes plays, but they have also written screenplays, short stories, a novella, essays, and some poetry. Their plays Carolina at the Cross and Carrying were developed as readings through Northwestern University student theatre groups. Their personal and opinion writing has appeared in The Daily Northwestern and GLAAD's outlet Amp.
Pallas is currently a Teaching Artist at the New Victory Theater, as well as a Broadway stagehand. Previously, they taught theater and creative writing as an ArtistYear Resident Teaching Artist in Astoria, Queens. As a teaching artist, Pallas hopes to help students discover their own voices, listen empathetically to people with different experiences than their own, and create art that expresses themselves.
Pallas graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern University in 2021 with a BA in Theatre, minors in Creative Writing and Gender and Sexuality Studies, and a Playwriting module. Pallas is very proud to have been raised in Astoria, Queens by two stagehands who emphasized the importance of learning and art, and is equally proud to call Harlem their present home.
