Autumn Withers

Autumn is an award-winning, American screen/stage actress and screenwriter. Her television credits include guest appearances on FBI: Most Wanted (CBS), The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon), Grey's Anatomy (ABC), Modern Family (ABC), Masters of Sex (SHO), Growing Up Fisher (NBC), Army Wives (Lifetime), Stray Day (Disney XD pilot), and recurring opposite Jenny Slate in the JASH digital series Catherine, an audience favorite at Sundance. She appears in the world's first film made during lockdown, Cabin Fever, alongside an international cast. Autumn can also be seen in drama Any Day with Sean Bean, Monarch with Illeana Douglas, and she stars in Avalanche, for which she won Best Actress in a Feature at NoHo Cinefest. Select theater credits include the role of Ann Deever in Arthur Miller's All My Sons (Los Angeles) and the world premiere of Is There Sex After Marriage? by playwright Jeff Gould. A native of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and a graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts, Autumn got her start on stage as the youngest cast member in the Broadway show Yo' Alice directed by Maurice Hines and as one of the famed Radio City Rockettes. Autumn's stage and screen career along with her Creative Writing degree fostered her desire to write female-driven stories of her own. In 2015, she partnered with Ryann Ferguson, a Broadway lyricist and novelist. They are perhaps the only female writing team in Hollywood to be matchmade by their parents, who were committed hippies together in the 70s. Their slate of content ranges from biting female comedy to historical adaptation and has seen options as well as various commendations from Screencraft, Austin Film Festival, and HBO. Autumn also collaborates with screenwriter Darren O'Hare. Their first comedy pilot was a semi-finalist at Sundance Episodic Lab. Autumn and Darren speak fluent rom-com and have two more in development. Autumn's semi-autobiographical dramedy feature, Sprog, was recently recognized by Slamdance. She also cut her producing chops on the award-winning dark comedy feature, Avalanche, now streaming globally. Autumn shares her time between Manhattan, Los Angeles, and the Southeast with her artist husband, incredible daughter, and untrained rescue dog.
