Scott Organ is a playwright and screenwriter whose work has been produced Off-Broadway, internationally, and at major festivals including the Humana Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), and The Tribeca Film Festival. His plays have been commissioned by The Atlantic Theater Company, developed by The Barrow Group, The New Group, Page 73, and South Coast Rep, and performed throughout the U.S., Europe, and South America.
His most recent play, Diversion, won the 2023 Premiere Stages Playwriting Festival, is published by Theatrical Rights Worldwide, and will premiere in New York in November 2025. Set in a hospital ICU break room, Diversion begins as a routine inquiry into missing opioids but gradually unravels into a tense confrontation about loyalty, burnout, and moral compromise.
His play 17 Minutes premiered Off-Broadway at The Barrow Group, where it earned critical acclaim and an extended run. It later appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 17 Minutes is a gripping exploration of moral courage in the aftermath of a school shooting.
Other work includes The Thing With Feathers (The Barrow Group) and Phoenix, which premiered at the Humana Festival of New American Plays and was later produced at The Cherry Lane (Rattlestick) and The Barrow Group. Phoenix has been translated into Portuguese, Spanish, and French.
Scott’s film Roost premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and was distributed by IFC under the title What Comes Around, directed by Amy Redford. He is also a credited writer on The Plea, currently in post-production.
His short films have screened at major festivals: Playdate (The Tribeca Film Festival, London City — 3rd Place, Vimeo Staff Pick), The Board (The Tribeca Film Festival), and The One (Palm Springs International Film Festival). His work appears in New Playwrights – The Best Plays, Humana Festival – The Complete Plays, Best American Short Plays, and others.
