Carolyn Gage is a playwright, performer, director, and activist. The author of nine collections of lesbian and feminist themed plays and eighty-three plays, musicals, and one-woman shows, she specializes in non-traditional roles for women, especially those reclaiming famous lesbians whose stories have been distorted or erased from history.

Her work has been published by Applause Books and by Samuel French. She has written two volumes of Monologues and Scenes for Lesbian Actors, as well as the first academic manual for lesbian theatre production, Take Stage! (Rowman & Littlefield). 
 
She has taught as a year-long Guest Lecturer in the Theatre Department at Bates College and was a Landsdowne Visiting Scholar at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.
