Liza Lentini
Resident Playwright

Liza Lentini’s surrealistic drama Drowning in Euphoria received an extended Off-Broadway run at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre in 1999 where it was hailed by Showbusiness Weekly as “poignant and haunting…almost musical”.

(Women’s Project & Chicago Dramatists), Psychotic & Weird (but enough about me) (American Theatre of Actors, NYC & London), Life in Exodus (Milagro Theatre), Brain Children (Rubicon Theatre Project, Chicago) and The Low Road to Phoenix (Actor’s Workshop, Boston).
