Margaret Hall (she/her/hers) is an author, teacher, producer, and theatre historian. Margaret is currently a staff writer for Playbill, the pre-eminent theatre publication in the United States, as well as an adjunct professor at various accredited programs, including Juilliard and New York University. She is the youngest known nominator in the history of the Drama Desk Awards, and a National Critics Institute fellow.

Margaret has dedicated her career to honoring the human beings at the core of the art they create. Much of her work is geared toward the general public in order to broaden discussions centered on the musical theatre art form, and who is welcomed into those discussions. She has received both a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama, and Masters in Musical Theatre History from New York University.

Her debut biography exploring the life of esteemed Broadway music director Paul Gemignani, GEMIGNANI: Life and Lessons from Broadway and Beyond, is available now. Her next solo book, which explores the artistic relationship between Elvis Presley and the musical theatre, is forthcoming. Margaret is the co-editor of Blood, Sweat & Queers (set for release October 7, 2025), a queer vampire short story anthology which raises funds for the Trevor Project.

A proudly autistic woman, Margaret has focused a significant part of her life to uplifting the neurodivergent community. She is the co-founder of the Autistic Theatremakers Alliance, a 501c3 non-profit that seeks to reduce stigma and increase inclusion of autistic persons in all aspects of theatre making by providing support, encouraging conversations among stakeholders, educating theatremakers about including autistic persons, and providing financial grants for training for autistic persons wanting to learn about theatre.

Originally a performer, she made her Off-Broadway debut in 2016 (Beauty and the Beast), and made her international performance debut in 2019 with the International Lyric Opera Academy in Vicenza, Italy (As The World Goes Round). Now a producer and director, Margaret stages musical theatre concerts, most recently putting up a 50th anniversary celebration for Galt MacDermot and Gerome Ragni’s 1972 show Dude, and the all-star concert A Tribute to Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, honoring the collaboration between the two titans.

Margaret’s special interests include the musical theatre, vampiric media, and mid-century American pop culture. She is fluent in English, and eternally pursuing fluency in Irish. Ní neart go cur le chéile.
