Oya Mae Dxtchxss-Davis

Playwright

Oya Mae Dxtchxss-Davis is a multi-souled pansexual, disabled (MS) playwright and Santeria practitioner from Minneapolis, MN. Her various intersecting identities are the main inspirations for her writing. Her artistic aim is to create stories so black youth can see characters on stage who not only look like them but are dealing with some of the extreme circumstances that they may be dealing with.

Oya Mae was a 2016 Many voices Mentee. Her play Skin was a part of the 2017 Twin Cities Horror Festival and her play Lunch will be a part of the 2020 Twin cities horror festival. Oya was a finalist for The Apothetae Playwriting Fellowship through the Lark Theatre in New York City and The Many Voices Fellowship through The Playwright’s Center. She is excited to be a part of this residency and is enthusiastic to explore her future conjurations.
