What people are saying.

  • "Lisa Fischel was our CORIOLANUS (I say “ours” because odds are she won’t be “yours”). She flourished as the lead and gracefully danced her way through the tangled web of Shakespearean verse. No small feat when you consider she was cast in the role moments before it all began. She threw herself into the character with total abandon, and embodied the spirit of the performance—risk, courage, and a willingness to embrace the beautiful moments that are born out of spontaneity."

    — Michael Kelley, PHINDIE, Philadelphia Theatre

  • “Lisa, I genuinely cannot put into words how grateful I am to have you as a professor and a mentor. I have never had someone who cared about my success as much as you have and I am beyond thankful. You have helped me see my talent and passion, you have helped me rekindle a drive, a love for this art. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for taking a chance on me and believing in me."
