Lindsay Joelle is a playwright, screenwriter, and librettist.
The granddaughter of a survivor in Poland's Underground Resistance and the daughter of a first-generation Israeli-born American, Joelle is drawn to stories of misfits, rebels, and the unassimilated. Her writing spotlights voices from diverse micro-communities across America: Hasidic Jews addicted to rock and roll. Sanitation workers who find treasure in the trash.
Plays include TRAYF (Geffen Playhouse, New Rep, Theater J, Penguin Rep), The Messengers (Audible Theater audio play), A Small History of Amal, Age 7 (Forward Flux/Pratidhwani), and The Garbologists (Philadelphia Theatre Company, City Theatre). She has been awarded an Audible Theater Emerging Playwright commission, EST/Sloan Foundation Science and Technology commission, Vital Theatre new musical commission, Irving Zarkower Award, and Goldberg MFA Playwriting Prize. National New Play Network (NNPN), New Georges, and American Theatre Wing-affiliated artist. Alumna of Columbia University (BA), Hunter College (MFA), and the BMI Musical Theatre Workshop.
