When Ward stepped into Lewis’ play
Read Melory Mirashrafi’s piece for Artists Rep on:
“What the Pandemic Taught Us About Prioritizing Artist Health”
In May of 2023, during ART’s production of True Story by E. M. Lewis, actor Maria Porter experienced a health emergency that led to actor and writer Lolly Ward stepping into her role leading up to opening night. Director Luan Schooler, Porter, and Ward sit down with Artistic & Producing Associate Melory Mirashrafi to discuss their experiences on True Story, and what the world of theatre has learned about prioritizing actor health as a result of the pandemic.
BONUS! Ward reteams with the Playwrights Union
Lolly Ward’s short play BONUS, a dark comedy on income inequality, hit the stage in Los Angeles on May 19, 2023.
