Lisa A. Price (she/they)
Playwright
I am a scientist and physician, who minored in musical theater dance as an undergraduate. That has lent to being a trained observer with a lyrical lens. I write to foster my life, and to affect others so that they may foster their own in a positive way.
In 2011, I had just finished a postdoctoral fellowship, and as a single mother, was raising two fabulous daughters. That year, I was 'let go' from a job that I had been at for two months. I was overqualified, they said. It was unexpected and traumatic. My blood pressure elevated and my heart would not stop racing. I turned to creating a world that I could control, dressed in my concerns, plus all the elements I love, including the natural world, order, deep relationships, magic, food and family.
My overall goal as a writer is focused on the deconstruction of calamities as well as joy, through examination of the paths which lead to them. In this way, the stories can be used as tools, as we discover ways of interjecting means to enhance joy, or interrupting dysfunction before calamities happen.
