  "GET TO THE HEART of what is before you."

                                                                        ~ Paul Cezanne

 

MOST RECENTLY, Lisa has been writing an original full-length musical that explores the effects of war on soldiers and their families.  As part of her research for this project, she was fortunate to be awarded a scholarship to participate in a workshop for veterans and their relatives, which took place at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. 

As a songwriter, Lisa has produced a cd of her original compositions. A single from that cd, Bad for Me, succeeded in reaching the number 2 position on the “American Idol Underground” listener-rated radio station after just one week of play.  

She has worked as lead choreographer for The Beat Goes On, a NYC rock and pop tribute series. As a singer, she has performed on the same bill as such recording artists as Marshall Crenshaw and Phoebe Snow.  

As anactor, Lisa has created several voices for the Sci-Fi Channel’s Seeing Ear Theater, in addition to appearing in the films of award-winning filmmakers Bruce Bennett and Cherien Dabis (Cannes Fipresci Prize). 

 

She lives in Brooklyn.

 


 

My current focus is on THE DOVE, an original musical in which I am exploring the effects war has on the interior lives of soldiers and their families, both during combat and post-deployment. As a sister of a soldier, this is a topic of great importance to me. It is close to my heart; it is what is before me.
