Playwriting

Miyoko’s plays interrogate contemporary crises and existential questions through speculative worlds, with humorous, emotional characters. While not all her plays involve robots, many of them do, and she often writes about people living with, evolving with, and performing with technology. 

Works include Human Museum (Helen Hayes Award Nominated for Best New Outstanding Play; World Premiere Rorschach Theatre); End of the World Place (developed with Copious Love Productions and SCRiB LAB); Starship Dance Party (developed with the New Play Reading Series at UC Berkeley); Untitled Fantasy (part of 2g’s Jumpstart Commissions); and Interchangeable Parts (part of 2g’s Free Range Commissions). 

Her plays have been honored by The Helen Hayes Awards, The Bay Area Playwrights Festival, and Second Generation Productions (2g), and developed or presented at various theatres and organizations, including at Rorschach Theatre; La Jolla Playhouse; Playwrights Foundation; Hugo House; Copious Love Productions; SCRiB LAB; UC Berkeley; Second Generation Productions (2g); and New York University. 

She has been published in the literary magazine Scrib Mag, edited by Miriam BC Tobin, and the zine Machine Dreams, co-edited by Margaret Rhee and Neil Aitken. She has also received commissions from Oklahoma City University’s MFA Program in Screen Acting.
