Marisol is a first-generation Cuban-American writer with comedic stories centered on identity, culture, and the destructive nature of societal and familial norms.

Marisol was a stage actor in Houston and Seattle before moving to LA where she thought she’d go into film. Although she landed a spot as a finalist in the Desi Arnaz Screewriting Fellowship with LALIFF in 2003, she found drawn to writing/performing comedy (Groundlings, UCB, Comedy Store, Los Angeles Comedy Festival, and SF Sketchfest)and writing/directing comedy shorts (MECAL Film Festival in Barcelona). After becoming a mom and gaining greater insight into personal challenges, Marisol had more to say than what fit in a comedy sketch, and wrote her first full-length play that has garnered many honors.

Currently, Marisol was selected for The Road Theatre Company’s Summer Playwright’s Festival. She’s been a finalist in Fulton Theatre's Stories of Diversity Playwriting Festival 2021, semi-finalist for 2021 Princess Grace Awards in Playwriting/Fellowship at New Dramatists, semi-finalist for 21st Century Voices at American Stage, finalist for Athena Project’s 2020 Plays in Progress Series, finalist for 2019 LAB Local Theater and semi-finalist for their 2022 LAB, and semi-finalist for the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center’s 2019 National Playwright Conference.
