BIO
Lily is a Brooklyn-based director of new plays, musicals, and reimagined classics whose favorite thing to do onstage is blur the line between subjectivity and reality so that audiences can come into direct contact with other people's interiority.
She is an alumna of Clubbed Thumb’s and Manhattan Theatre Club’s Directing Fellowships and the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s Directing Corps, a member of the Lincoln Center Theater Directors Lab, and a New Georges Affiliated Artist. She has associate- or assistant-directed on Broadway, at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Williamstown Theatre Festival, and others. She is an associate member of SDC.
Lily is a founding co-artistic director of Two Headed Rep, a company that commissions new plays written in response to classics and produces the old and new works in rep.
She studied Theatre and Computer Science at Williams College and attended the National Theatre Institute’s Directing Program.
