About the Storyteller Sophia Valera Heinecke

Sophia Valera Heinecke (she/her) is an award-winning writer for the screen and stage as well as a dramaturg, archivist, and producer from Gordonsvillle, Virginia. She is also the Arts and Wellness Manager at The Creative Center for people with cancer and other chronic illnesses. She is drawn to work in the theater because it involves a deep consideration of human bodies and their emotional/intellectual output as the central material for live performance. This has been fortified as she has further developed expertise in the field of arts and medicine. Liveness has unprecedented value in an era where human connection is increasingly diluted and absent.
