THE FABULOUS LULU
LOLO IS A…
PLAYWRIGHT/ACTOR: LuLu LoLo’s one person plays are developed out of her passion for historical research and social justice, especially as pertaining to the dramatic struggle of women in New York City’s past on such subjects as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire; the lesbian lover of murder victim Kitty Genovese; the murder of Helen Jewett; women who fought in the Civil War disguised as men; and Aaron Burr’s relationship with his daughter Theodosia Burr Alston.
PERFORMANCE ARTIST: LuLu is a socially engaged performance artist who invites the public to share performances that incorporate historical references, ritualism, generosity, symbolism, myth, with an added dose of humor from New York City Streets and Subways—to Genoa and Southern Italy to Le Mans and Paris, France.
