Kim Euell writes plays that interrogate issues of race, class, and cultural assimilation with the intention of providing some healing balm for our societal wounds. Kim enjoys excavating rhythm in language and connecting the dots between past and present in her work. She thrives on collaborating and has contributed to several devised works with Joanna Haigood's Zaccho Dance Theatre. Kim is currently writing the book for a musical about the Godmother of Rock and Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Penumbra Theater's production of her play The Diva Daughters DuPree was named "Outstanding New Show of the Year" by critics at the Star-Tribune. A winner of the Theodore Ward Prize, Divas is published in Chuck Smith's anthology, Best Black Plays.

As a dramaturg, Kim has worked at Berkeley Rep's Ground Floor, the Sundance Theater Lab, and has headed play development programs at the Mark Taper Forum, the Tony Award-winning Hartford Stage, and The Robey Theatre.
