Lise just wrapped up a terrific run at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, FL where she appeared in Lauren Gunderson’s Silent Sky, directed by Seema Sueko, and Incident at Our Lady of Perpetual Help by Katie Forgette, directed by Celine Rosenthal.
In the summer of 2022 Lise was in New York, in the cast of Robert Icke’s classical double header Hamlet and The Oresteia at the Park Avenue Armory. The shows ran through August 13, 2022. The production team and cast muscled through the run in spite of multiple Covid-19 infections.
