Rising. Together. | Paula Pizzi-Black - Actress, Writer

Paula Pizzi-Black | Actress, WriterPaula Pizzi-Black is an actress, writer, translator and sometimes director. She was born and raised in Buenos Aires where she began in children’s theatre and quickly learned if you fake it you are toast. So she studied acting with Lito Cruz, milked her long hair in shampoo commercials, modeled all kinds of jeans, and played bratty teens in episodics and in a rather questionable soap. After college, she came to the US, fell in love with NYC and never looked back. And the training continued. First at Lee Strasberg’s Theatre Institute, then at the Actors Conservatory and last but not least at William Esper Studio. She became a member of Circle Rep Lab (which is now New Circle Theatre Company) and LAByrinth (formerly Latino Actors Base) which have become her artistic family. It was at LAByrinth where she started directing and writing and where she now has the honor of leading the Education Department. Paula has been part of some amazing new plays and artistic projects during which she met and collaborated with incredible artists and better yet, humans. She’s also an ensemble member of Barefoot Theatre Company and the Playwrights Directors Unit at the Actors Studio (P.D.U.)
