Buckley, Marge J.

Marge J. Buckley is a playwright and painter based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her work examines radical systemic change by transforming the serious into the ridiculous, and vice versa. Her plays include “God is a Woman” (NYC International Fringe 2015), “The Earth Room” (Fresh Ink Theatre 2019), “Detective Chunk, the Multiverse, and Me” (Commutator Collective 2021, 2024), “Grainville Cereals Incorporated” (Commutator Collective 2022), and “Guillotine City” (Commutator Collective 2026). She also writes text for an ongoing series of experimental one-night warehouse-based theatre-and-dance parties.

She is a 2025-2026 McKnight Fellow in Playwriting at the Playwrights’ Center.
