Amanda Gronich is an award-winning scriptwriter who has devoted her career to telling true stories. With Tectonic Theater Project, she is the co-author of Here There Are Blueberries (Pulitzer Prize finalist; Lucille Lortel Award for Best Play, 2025); a co-creator of one of the most produced plays of the last twenty-five years, The Laramie Project (made into a Primetime Emmy–nominated HBO film); and the director of Tectonic’s Toronto production of Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde.
In more than a decade working in television, she became a lead series writer for National Geographic TV and supervising senior writer at Hoff Productions, where she oversaw all scripting and created top-rated programming for networks including Discovery, NatGeo, WeTV, Animal Planet, TLC, and Science Channel.
In addition to her writing work, Gronich teaches and consults on interview-based, nonfiction playwriting projects around the world. A book about her original story-devising methods will be released by SIU Press.
