Jacob Margaret Archer is a fat trans disabled neuroqueer playwright&dramaturge born and raised on the unceded territory called S’ólh Téméxw by the Stó:lō people (Chilliwack, BC). A 2019 graduate of the Playwriting program at the National Theatre School of Canada, notable plays include Celestial Bodies, THINK OF THE CHILDREN, All I Want Is To Be Happy Sometimes, Such A Heart As Yours, and Miss Somewhere. Their poetry has been published by post ghost press, Raspberry magazine, Relish and Muster, and on their parents’ fridge. Though Montreal will always be the city of their heart, in 2020, circumstances found them in a rental SUV, a 6ft tie-dye squid buckled into the passenger seat, roadtripping home to the West Coast, where they now live and teach English, French, and Theatre Production. They are an award-winning community theatre lighting and sound designer, an amateur musician, and an even more amateur visual artist.
