Breanne Oryschak (she/her) is a playwright and interdisciplinary artist based in Ottawa. She is co-founder of BUS STOP MADONNAS, a femme-led Ottawa theatre company creating hyper-theatrical satire for multigenerational audiences.

Developed with support from the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts, her current plays-in-development to receive public readings include: The Tribunal (TACTICS/Ottawa/2022), Wifellini (La MaMa/New York/2025) and Pilgrimage (Créations in Vivo & undercurrents/Ottawa/2026).
