WHO is Liz Morgan?

I’m a New York–based actor, writer, and theatre-maker. After graduating from the Brown/Trinity Rep MFA Acting Program (Rest in Peace) in 2013, I spent several years working in new plays and regional theatre. This site serves as an archive of that chapter of my work.

As an actor, I made my big screen debut in 2015 landing a principal role in Ted 2 with Seth MacFarlane.  Early stage credits include the regional tour of The Mountaintop in Alaska with Perseverance Theatre, a collaboration with the legendary Ntozake Shange on her last choreoessay, Lost in Language and Sound and a star-studded benefit performance directed by Kenny Leon for Opening Act. I am best known for my viral poem "Why I was Late Today..." featured in the Huffington Post.

Alongside my performance career, I’ve built a career as an educator and facilitator spanning from teaching artist work in East Flatbush to adjunct instruction at Brown University. My work now focuses on training and facilitation for educators and organizations interested in culturally responsive pedagogy, with an emphasis on using theatre as a tool for critical engagement, reflection, and social change.

My practice has since expanded into cultural organizing and politically engaged theatre-making, often at the intersection of performance, community, and civic life.

I’m interested in collaborating across artistic, educational, and social impact spaces. For current work or to connect, feel free to reach out directly.
