Lindsay Joelle is a New York City and Tucson-based playwright, screenwriter, and librettist.
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. Scientists, refugees, soldiers, and translators. Her writing 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 2022, "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 collaboration grant, the Rita Goldberg Award for graduate playwriting, and has developed work with Asolo Rep, City Theatre, Curious Theatre (NNPN Writer-in-Residence), Playwrights Foundation, PlayPenn, Great Plains Theatre Conference, and Nashville Rep's Ingram New Works Lab. She is a proud NNPN, New Georges, and Lark-affiliated artist. Alumna of Columbia University (BA), Hunter (MFA), and the BMI Musical Theatre Workshop. |
