Lynn Johnson’s Experience

Co-Director

OutLook Theater Project

(Performing Arts industry)

August 2007 — Present (2 years 4 months)

I am the co-founder/director (along with Rebecca Schultz) of OutLook Theater Project, a newly formed, ensemble-based company that creates original performance about relevant issues from a queer perspective. We collaborate with a diversity of communities to make work that questions the norm, transforms audiences into participants, and inspires personal and social change. OLTP achieves its mission through a blend of professional theater and community-based projects. We draw from improvisational and physical theater, Theatre of the Oppressed, and other techniques to create works that address social issues and empower participants and audiences.
