Hi, I’m
Lisa O'Brien
Comedian/Actress/Writer
Welcome!
Hi, I'm Lisa! I am originally from Roswell, Georgia, but I have spent the past four years in Cleveland Ohio obtaining my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and International Studies at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). You may have seen me performing in CWRU's undergraduate productions, like The Moors by Jen Silverman, Cymbeline by William Shakespeare, or The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder. When I'm not acting in plays, you can find me planning and performing as president of IMPROVment, CWRU's musical improv troupe, filming short films with Studio300 on campus, and coordinating, executing, and participating in events with Player's Theatre Group, CWRU's student-led theatre group, such as "Play in a Day," "Neofuturism," and "PTG Live".
You may have even seen me across the sea! I recently studied a semester of classical acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. During my time abroad I also performed stand-up comedy at open mic comedy nights in both London and Paris.
Most recently I opened for Matteo Lane, Sydnee Washington, and Marie Faustin at Severance Hall!
Writing Samples
I am an aspiring writer with experience in playwriting, screenwriting, and sketch comedy writing. Here you will find the filmed production of my contest-winning ten-minute play The Fibbing Fee presented by the Georgia Film Academy, as well as the short-film Blockbusted, which premiered at the Short and Sweet Film Festival in 2023, that I co-wrote with Maizy Windham.
