Lindsay Joelle is a New York City and Tucson-based playwright, screenwriter, and lyricist.
The granddaughter of a survivor in Poland's Underground Resistance and the daughter of a first-generation Israeli-American, Joelle is drawn to stories of outsiders, rebels, and the un-assimilated. Her plays spotlight voices not usually heard in the American theater: Chasidic Jews addicted to rock and roll. Sanitation workers who find treasure in the trash. Female scientists, refugees, and military translators. Joelle explores the rituals, routines, and humor of urban and rural micro-communities across America... and beyond. Plays include "The Garbologists," which will premiere at City Theatre in 2021, "TRAYF," which has played throughout the U.S. since premiering at Theater J in 2018, and "The Messengers," which was recently released as an audio-play for Audible Theater. Joelle has received an Audible Emerging Playwright Commission, Ensemble Studio Theatre/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Science & Technology Commission, Vital Theatre Company commission, National New Play Network residency, the Rita Goldberg Award for graduate playwriting, and has developed work with PlayPenn, Playwrights Foundation, Ingram New Works Lab, and the Lark. She is a proud NNPN and New Georges-affiliated artist and alumna of Columbia University (BA), CUNY/Hunter (MFA), and the BMI Musical Theatre Workshop. |
