ABOUT LIZZI
I am originally from the suburbs of Washington, D.C. In 2024, I became co-artistic director of Perisphere Theater along with my partner, Gerrad Alex Taylor. I’ve also been a company member at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company since 2012, where favorite roles include Electra (The Oresteia adapted by Ellen McLaughlin), Viola (Twelfth Night), and Anne Boleyn (Anne of the Thousand. Other regional credits include Collected Stories (Peter’s Alley Theatre) and the original Alexandra Petri play Never Never (Capital Fringe). I have taught acting throughout the DC area, directed an all-female Macbeth at Notre Dame of Maryland University, and co-hosted and co-produced the theater podcast Is Anyone Calling This Show?! in 2016 and 2017. I hold a BFA in Theatre from NYU/Stella Adler and an MA in Acting from East 15, where I participated in residencies at Shakespeare’s Globe in London and GITIS in Moscow. In my free time, I enjoy bourbon, detective novels, and buying too many clothes.
