Invisible Child, the
dance/play written by Lisa and performed by Lisa and dancers, has received
rave reviews this year.
It is the story of Ginger, a woman who struggles to listen to her inner
voice. She wants so much to be accepted by her mother and the outside
world, that she leaves her dream of becoming a painter to become an
attorney. Through a variety of characters we see how unhappy Ginger is and
what has led to this state of being. In a moment of epiphany, she realizes
that she cannot live her life according to others, nor will she allow
abuses directed towards her. She decides that she must be true to herself
and follow her dreams. Modern dance and music express Ginger's alter ego
and inner conflict as it is intertwined with the monologues. Through
laughter and tears the characters, music, and dance create thought
provoking theater. This wonderful, moving piece of theater can be seen

Lisa has been cast in the starring role
of the Off-Broadway revival of William Gibson's outstanding play,
Two For the Seesaw.
This is an emotionally gritty story
about two disparate people who fall into a doomed love affair. Gittel is a
New Yorker from the Bronx, with little education, and a failing dream of
becoming a modern dancer. She's lonely and struggling, as she does not
know how to pursue her career or her personal life. Jerry, is a highly
educated lawyer from Nebraska. He has recently escaped to New York City
for get away from his wife's infidelity. Heartbroken and isolated, Jerry
meets Gittel.
Throughout the play, we see these two people from vastly different worlds
fall in love. Although there is clearly caring, compatibility, and fun in
their relationship, something is very amiss- Jerry still loves his
estranged wife. The emotional battle that ensues between them is both
heartwarming and disturbing. Watch for this stunning play Spring of 2005.
