About Shira

​​​

 

Shira writes and directs stage plays and  screenplays. She also writes short stories and articles - and she loves to help others bring their ideas to life. Primarily a comedy (traumedy) writer, she's worked in writers rooms across genres, on TV shows like FALLOUT  (S1) and as a creative producer at Blue Monday Productions. She also works with showrunners and writers looking to adapt stories and IP for the screen. With a deep intergenerational passion for Jewish Feminist art, she worked as a producer on A Feminist Lens: The Art and Activism of Joan Roth, as a contributing writer at Lilith Magazine, and as a literary fellow at The Braid.

Shira's 10-minute play Anna-Versary played at and won Short Play Fest NYC at the Players' Theatre in 2025. Her short play Yom Kippur Abortion played at Concord Theatrical's Samuel French OOB Festival in 2024, and was featured in the ShPiEL Performing Identity Summer Showcase in KY that same year. A film adaptation is currently in development.

As an LA-based East Coast Native, Shira spends time working on both coasts. She also works remotely with teens as a writing coach - helping them to craft a voice, a sense of identity, and get into college. She also likes to follow in her grandmother's footsteps as a freelance photographer. She studied Film Studies and Women & Gender studies at Muhlenberg College.
