Jen Coogan began as a performer, but started writing musicals in her desire to create more roles for women. Her composer credits include the As You Like It 2024 Tour (San Francisco Shakespeare Festival) The Morning After My Family Fell Apart, (Left Coast Theatre Company) and The Oregon Trail Pages (Musical Cafe Showcase). She is developing The New Teacher with Superbad Theatre Company, The Last Open Mic with WildHorse Stage Co., and is the creator of The Women in Theatre Project; featuring songs based on her personal interviews from some of the most influential women in theatre, which is making its concert debut at 54 Below in NYC this October.
