Analyn Boydston

Analyn Boydston is a 21-year-old playwright who’s been acting since she was still in the womb and her mother played the role of Frenchy in "Destry Rides Again." Analyn adored acting with other kids her age every summer, but as she grew into her teen years, she found that her true passion was writing the stories that the actors brought to life. You can almost always find her writing: during her free time, she writes parodies of popular songs, short animated skits for YouTube, and elaborate tabletop campaigns to play with her friends. Non-writing-related interests include weight lifting, listening to the same song on repeat for several days straight, and dancing alone in the living room.
