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.
Plays include TRAYF (Geffen Playhouse, Theater J, New Rep, Six Points), The Messengers (Audible Theater), A Small History of Amal, Age 7 (Forward Flux/Pratidhwani), and The Garbologists (Philadelphia Theatre Company, City Theatre, Northlight Theatre). She has received an Audible Theater Emerging Playwright commission, E.S.T./Sloan Foundation commission, Vital Theatre musical commission, Irving Zarkower Award, Anne Freedman grant, and the Goldberg MFA Playwriting Prize. Alumna of the BMI Musical Theatre Workshop, Nashville Rep’s Ingram New Works Lab, the New Georges Jam, and NNPN Playwright-in-Residence at Curious Theatre. Joelle received her BA from Columbia University and MFA from Hunter. |
