Welcome to The Dais

Dais Johnston (he/they/she) is a 21 year old senior theatre major at Agnes Scott College. When they aren’t getting in spirited conversations with their professors in class or tweeting, they direct and act in plays and web series and write a lot.

Like, a lot. Once they got an idea for a one act play at 1:00 am and then wrote all 30 pages of it before 7:30. You can read that (very rough draft) here.

Raised extremely Catholic, they survived on a restricted television diet of TV Land reruns and I Love Lucy box sets, so now they are in college, they spend as much time as possible watching whatever they can get their hands on, and writing down all their thoughts. Their dream is to write about television for a website like Vulture, or any pop culture site. They love culture in general.

Due to their education, Dais is extremely skilled in social media and building an audience, as they have around a thousand twitter followers. They also have a wide breadth of theatre knowledge, with a extremely indepth knowledge of Shakespeare and a passion for adaptation theory. They love telling stories and writing plays and scripts, and love acting and directing those stories even more.

Dais has been published on BUST.com and has contributed to Time.com and Autostraddle. Their published work and the highlights from their other humor writing can be found under “Best of Dais.

Aside from their constant work trying to graduate, they also run a weekly newsletter about what brings people joy entitled Unapologetically Enthusiastic, and a fashion blog entitled Thanks, it Has Pockets! When they want to write something that doesn’t fit on either site, they write humor articles about TV and Film on their Medium blog.
