all about ally.

Ally M. Lardner (she/hers) is a Korean-American writer and stage manager. She grew up in an Air Force family, which by nature has no hometown. But since she voted in her first election and felt her first heartbreak (the two were unrelated) in southern New Jersey, that's probably where she's from.

She likes to write about women who hate, sapphic angst, and (fickle, traitorous, bittersweet) memory. Her plays have been developed and produced by Subtext Studio TC, Garry Marshall Theatre, entertwine, EST/LA's New West cohort, and The Ugly Radio.​

​

AML received her B.A. from Boston College, earning the J. Robert Barth, S.J., Award for Excellence in the Arts and the J. Paul Marcoux Award upon graduation. She received two recognitions for excellence in stage management from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Outside of theatre, she ran the BC chapter of Lean on Me, a student-led mental health support text line. It totally didn't mess her up or anything. 

​

After college, AML joined TRASH MAG, an independent queer-led zine. She served as social media manager for two years and Editor-in-Chief another two. 

​

She lives in Los Angeles and works as Script Coordinator for ABC's General Hospital.
