The granddaughter of a survivor in Poland's Underground Resistance and the daughter of a first-generation American, Joelle is drawn to stories of misfits, rebels, and the unassimilated. Her plays spotlight voices not usually heard in the American theater, like Chasidic Jews addicted to rock and roll and sanitation workers who find treasure in the trash.
Plays include TRAYF (Theater J, Geffen Playhouse — 2022 LA Drama Critics Circle nomination for best writing; Goldberg MFA Playwriting Award); THE GARBOLOGISTS, an EST/Sloan Foundation commission (Philadelphia Theatre Company, City Theatre, Northlight Theatre); and THE MESSENGERS, an Audible Theatre Emerging Playwright Commission recorded by Audible. Joelle was the National New Play Network’s Playwright-in-Residence at Curious Theatre and has developed new work with City Theatre, Asolo Theatre, PlayPenn, and Playwrights Foundation, among others. Alumna of the BMI Musical Theatre Workshop, Nashville Repertory Theatre’s Ingram New Works Lab, New Georges Jam, Columbia University (BA), and Hunter (MFA). Other writing includes the prep book Tutor Tells All: ACT Test Strategy. |
