More Information
Oh hi! I'm Lily, and I love to play, but it's not always been that way.
I've made a living saying other people's words — on TV, in commercials, movies, and on stages across the country. I know how to sell someone else's story, but "Ready Player, Too" is the first time I'm telling my own. From Candy Land to Tomb Raider, this is my brutal take on sibling rivalries, playing well with others, learning how to enjoy your own company — and how it's taken me a whole life to understand the value of living a "good game."
What to expect: Whether you've never touched a controller or grew up arguing Xbox vs. PlayStation, expect to laugh — and don't be mad if you cry a little. I use gameplay as a nerdy lens for the life lessons I'm still figuring out.
What others have said from earlier workshops:
"I love any experience where you can laugh, cry, and change your neural pathways simultaneously."
" I was truly blown away by the honesty and openness."
"I've never played any of those game and I don't do sports, but I totally could relate. It's like, how do we live in a competitive world, but in a healthy way."
