In this post-apocalyptic female revenge thriller, Maya Hawthorne, an “advance” obituary writer for the New York Times, arrives at aging college president Philip Stern’s house to interview him for his obituary. President Stern is hoping this interview will yield him a great obituary in the Times. Maya Hawthorne wants answers from the man who ruined her life years earlier. “Obit” was developed through the NYU/Tisch Graduate Acting Alumni Association Writers Group and had a staged reading at the Studio Tisch Festival, NYU/Tisch Grad Acting in 2023.
