Mack Lawrence—trans playwright, movement artist, and a sixth-generation Austinite—makes work that traverses foundationally queer stories with a distinctly southern voice. Their play Waco Boy Club, will have its premiere in Brooklyn, NY as a part of National Queer Theater’s 2026 season.

Mack’s project DINNER, a devised multimodal dance theater melodrama had a sold out run at the Brick Aux in Brooklyn in 2025. They were a part of MOtiVE Brooklyn’s For the Artist! Residency program. They also are a long time collaborator with ARCOS Dance, most recently as a part of Ether Dust, a movement tour through rural West Texas.

Mack received their BFA in Dance from UT Austin. They are an MFA Playwriting candidate at UC San Diego.

They love their niece, Loretta, more than anything.
