Lindsay Joelle is a playwright, screenwriter, and librettist living in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona.
The granddaughter of a survivor in Poland's Underground Resistance and the daughter of a first-generation Israeli-born American, Joelle is drawn to stories of misfits, rebels, and the unassimilated. 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. Her writing explores the rituals, routines, jargon, and humor of urban and rural micro-communities across America and beyond. Plays include TRAYF (Geffen Playhouse, Theater J, Penguin Rep, New Rep), The Messengers (Audible Theater audioplay), A Small History of Amal, Age 7 (Forward Flux/Pratidhwani), and The Garbologists (Philadelphia Theatre Company, City Theatre, Northlight Theatre -upcoming). She has been awarded an Audible Theater Emerging Playwright commission, E.S.T./Sloan Foundation Science & Technology commission, Vital Theatre musical commission, Irving Zarkower Award, and Goldberg MFA Playwriting Prize. Alumna of the BMI Musical Theatre Workshop, Nashville Repertory Theatre’s Ingram New Works Lab, and former NNPN Playwright-in-Residence at Curious Theatre. Originally from Chicago, Joelle received her BA from Columbia University and MFA from Hunter. Profile by Gil Kaan, Broadway World, 2022 Profile by Rachel Wiegardt-Egel, Geffen Playhouse, 2022 |
