Personal details
- Professions: Writer, Producer, Additional Crew
Caitlin Parrish, honestly, she’s one of those creative minds who just keeps popping up in the most interesting places. She’s done a bunch of cool stuff, but people probably know her best for her work on Supergirl—yeah, that Supergirl, the superhero TV show that actually managed to pull off both action and heart. Parrish co-developed and wrote a bunch of episodes there, and you can really feel her fingerprints all over the emotional beats. But she’s not stuck in just one lane. She also wrote and directed The View from Tall, which is this indie drama about a super-tall teenage girl navigating high school awkwardness and family mess. It's raw, sometimes painfully real, and not afraid to get weirdly funny at the worst moments… like, in the best possible way. And then there’s G20, coming in 2025, which is already getting hype. From what people are saying, it’s a political thriller with a sharp edge—think tense negotiations, secrets, and probably a few twists that’ll make you yell at your screen. Parrish just has this way of taking big, blockbuster ideas and making them feel personal, you know? She digs into character psychology and doesn’t shy away from tough topics. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter stories and want something with brains and guts, her projects are honestly worth a look. She’s the kind of storyteller who surprises you, in the best and weirdest ways.
reference nBack in 2015, “The Downpour” made some real waves at the Route 66 Theatre Company in Chicago. The play, written by Caitlin Parrish, got itself nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Equity Award for New Work. That’s a pretty big deal in Chicago’s theater scene — the Jeffs are like the local version of the Tonys, but with more deep-dish pizza and probably a lot more snow. “The Downpour” isn’t just any play thrown together for a quick buck; it’s loaded with gut-punch family drama and razor-sharp dialogue that hits close to home. People in the audience felt every twist, every awkward silence, every emotional meltdown. The nomination itself speaks to how much the story stuck with folks — straight-up, it’s the kind of play that lingers in your brain long after the curtain drops. If you’re into new, original theater that doesn’t pull its punches, this one’s worth remembering.
