Lo Williams

Executive Artistic Producer, she/her

Adaptable, creative, and reliable, Lo Williams is a young actor, director, producer, and playwright from Los Angeles, CA who thrives in collaborative environments and in pressurized situations. She will be based in the Chicago area beginning in the Fall of 2022.

Lo recently finished acquiring her undergraduate degree from Howard University with a B.F.A. in Theatre Arts and a concentration in Acting. She has had the opportunity to perform in The Cakewalk Series in partnership with the Lucille Lortel Theatre, as well as a featured role with the PostClassical Ensemble for their production Rediscovering Black Classical Music. She also has been involved in the world premiere of Nsangou Njikam’s 21 Strings (Howard University) and Rep Us All (Rorschach Theatre). She has most recently played in the role of Lady Macbeth for the production of Macbeth with PG County Shakespeare in the Parks in the summer of 2022.

Beyond work on and off the stage she is a published poet of the collection Et Cetera, works in film, is studying a variety of different languages, and is an avid reader.

Lo seeks to make commentary and shape opinions with each piece she chooses to do. In a world of tumultuous political, religious, and social climates it is easy to forget how to feel safe. She intends to create theatre that helps us remember.

Above all, she desires to make art that is accessible, and theatre that is true.
