Lily Mercer
New York, New York, United States
I am a writer/director/producer who has spent the better part of 30 years in theatre. From Kentucky to Arizona, from New York to California, I have been the producing artistic director of two theatre companies, held positions as an adjunct professor at two universities, and worked extensively as a professional actor. (See www.lilymercer.com.) My passion is for plays that cause a visceral reaction, and I am particularly drawn to stories that celebrate the hero in each of us. In May 2012, I obtained my MFA in Dramatic Writing from the NYU/Tisch School of the Arts, where I learned how to write the stories that move me. BEFORE A FALL is one of those stories.
