Guest Speaker
Daryl Lisa Fazio
DARYL IS a playwright, over-educated freelance graphic designer (MFA, University of Memphis) and actor (BS, Northwestern University) based in Atlanta, Georgia. Her plays and musicals (the latter written with composer, Aaron McAllister) have been produced Off-Broadway (American Theatre of Actors, Theatre Row, New York Musical Theatre Festival), in professional regional and international theatres (Actor’s Express, Horizon Theatre, Aurora Theatre, Florida Rep, Actors Rep of Luxembourg, Weird Sisters Theatre Project), and produced and workshopped in academic settings (Emory Univ., Coastal Carolina Univ., Truman State Univ.). Plays have also been developed by the Alliance Theatre, Synchronicity Theatre, and Working Title Playwrights. Her commitment is to writing multi-dimensional roles for women of all ages, races, and classes. Partly, that comes from being an actor herself, and partly it comes from growing up in a richly textured college town in Mississippi. When not writing, Daryl enjoys the occasional acting gig and caters to the graphic design needs of professional theatres in Atlanta and beyond. She is a professional member of the Dramatist Guild
