Biography

Syreeta (suhREEtah) Briggs is a writer and performer from West Louisville, Kentucky, pushing musical theatre forward with TEETH: UH MORALITY PLAY—A one-woman a capella dreamscape about an 8-year-old girl's quest for joy in the land of LOOuhvull, where loss and grief abound. To stellar reviews, TEETH premiered as an audio play in November 2020 on suhREEtah.com/teeth, with critics calling the show "a work of genius, compelling and crushing." Since then, Syreeta's become a MacDowell Fellow, a Page 73 Semi-Finalist, and the recipient of two Michael Kanin National Playwriting Awards (including The Hip Hop Theatre Creator Award and The KCACTF Musical Theatre Award). When Syreeta's not blowing the roof off the joint with her fabulous one-person symphonies, she's probably binging Paternity Court, teaching herself to rollerblade or sky-gazing, but not necessarily in that order.
