About
Eteya Trinidad (Eh-TAY-yuh) is a writer and artist living in Portland, OR by way of San Francisco, CA. She was a member of the 2020-21 and 2021-22 PlayGround Writers Pool, where she was featured in both annual Best of PlayGround Festivals. Her first year, she won the Peoples' Choice Award for her short play, "La Planchada", and was awarded the June Anne Baker Prize. Eteya was also recognized as a finalist for the 2019 Bay Area Playwrights Festival with her full-length, La Sirena. Her next play, a rowdy romantic comedy called Lizard Women, will be produced by Awesome Theatre in San Francisco in Fall 2023.
Eteya grew up surrounded by the redwoods, beaches and fog of Humboldt County in Northern California. It was there that she developed a deep appreciation of nature, curiosity about the world, and a sense of magic. Eteya often draws from her personal experience and identity in her work as a way to make sense of her own story. (She spends a lot of time in her own head.)
Eteya holds a B.A. in Critical Diversity Studies from the University of San Francisco. She is currently studying graphic design at Portland Community College.
