Lo Williams is a director, actor, poet and producer based in Chicago, IL. She has been involved in the development of world premieres of new Black theatrical productions in the capacities of producer, director, playwright, and actor, and she is a proud alumna of the inaugural class of the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts at Howard University, having earned a BFA in Theatre Arts. Lo is also an alumna of the National Theatre Institute and the Lin Manuel Miranda Family Fellowship.

 

As a passionate advocate and administrator, Lo strives to create and provide opportunities for new and underrepresented works to be explored on stage. When centering work around the community, she believes that making theatre in hopes that the “non-theatre person” will attend and be impacted is a reliable way to allow that intention to remain pure.

 

Outside of theater and poetry, she has passions about literacy and works as a bookseller in hopes to increase the accessibility of education.
