Maureen Paraventi

Maureen Paraventi is an award-winning playwright whose one-act and full-length plays have been produced by dozens of theatre companies in multiple states. Her drama, Cora Lynn Beauty Can Change Your Life, won the Community Theatre Association of Michigan's 2022 Playwriting Award. Maureen writes for both adult and youth groups. In addition to plays, Maureen has written novels and nonfiction books. Her favorite hobbies are people watching and eavesdropping—both of which help her in her playwriting. She loves to explore the complexities of relationships in a way that is both thought-provoking and entertaining. Maureen is a member of the Extra Mile Playwrights Theatre, a diverse group of writers that debuts original staged readings and full productions in Detroit's University District. When she's not writing, Maureen acts in local theatrical productions, sings in a pop/rock/Irish band (McLaughlin's Alley band) and posts way too many pictures of her pets on Facebook.
