BIO

Born & raised in Miami, Benitez now resides in Brooklyn. She was most recently in the writers’ room for the new limited series, La Joconde, directed by Jodie Foster, which you’ll see at some point soon on streaming! She also recently adapted one of her plays with Universal Television, sold it to the studio and wrote the pilot for NBC. Her produced plays include: Adaptive Radiation (Denizen Theatre, American Academy for the Dramatic Arts and Clarence Brown Theatre), Ashe In Johannesburg (Burning Coal Theatre), Dike (New York Theater Workshop 29-hours reading, Urbanite Theatre and Hofstra University), For Closure! (freeFall Theater, [upcoming]), The Queer Seance at #3, Sutton Place (Island City Stage [upcoming]) and a commission for The Hippodrome State Theater [upcoming]. Dike, the prelude play to Saint Brigid, was originally developed for The New York Theatre Workshop’s 2050 Fellow Tatiana Pandiani culminating project. These two plays can be done in rep! Benitez made the Kilroy’s List with her bilingual play, GringoLandia. She is a finalist for American Shakespeare Center’s Shakespeare’s New Contemporaries Prize with her comedic adaptation of Henry 6 titled, The 6th, Or, The Patriots. She's had workshops and readings with The Playwrights’ Center, Artists’ Repertory Theater, The Maltz Jupiter Theater and others. She was featured in American Theatre Magazine 6 Theatre Workers You Should Know. Represented by WME (Bash Naran) for film/tv and managed by Michael Claassen (Writ Large). Member of the Dramatist Guild and AEA. English and Spanish language. She’s looking for the right fit for theater representation. @hannahbenitezzz
