EDUCATION

As an educator, Lizz is particularly passionate about supporting young theatermakers as they begin to share their work with audiences. Lizz has acted as a playwriting mentor and dramaturg at the Young Playwright's festival at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, and as a reader and director for the Worldwide Plays Festival at Writopia Lab in New York.

Lizz believes in giving students a safe environment to ask questions, try things out, and decide what feels right for them in their creative practice. This obviously sometimes includes students writing Lizz into their stories and having them get eaten by a large human, leaving Lizz to figure out how to escape.

Each lesson plan below is aimed for ages 8 - 11, with an emphasis on curiosity and exploration to take each student’s interests and allow them to expand upon them.
