(she/they)

Lisa Suzanne holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre from North Carolina Central University. Lisa Suzanne began their career in theatre as a lighting professional right out of college on the road with the Ringing Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, and they worked in Durham, North Carolina as an arts educator, technical director, and puppeteer since 2016.

In 2020 Lisa Suzanne moved to Philadelphia in the midst of the pandemic, and they are excited to discover all that this area has to offer for them and their family.

When they are not working or volunteering at the Cheltenham Center for the Arts, they are playing recreational sports and reading fantasy novels.


My special talent is off-beat dancing, and I love reading fantasy novels.
