Dori A. Robinson

I am a director, playwright, performer, and educator focused on identity, heritage, and our shared stories. With my unique background as an American Israeli Jew with Egyptian roots and a Master’s degree from New York University’s Educational Theatre program, I have dedicated years to developing dynamic theatre in a variety of communities. My creative journey encompasses text-driven plays, devised ensemble theatre, magical realism, puppetry, masks, exploring gender and politics, new play development, and an enormous love of Shakespeare.  

My original plays have been produced in New York, Chicago, and Boston, most recently The Elm Tree with my company,  Alight Theater Guild, with whom I am also the co-host of the TREE SPEECH PODCAST, where we explore the nexus of our personal, historical, and cultural ties to trees. I'm proud to teach at Northeastern and Brandeis University, and am a member of SDC. 

Please reach out - I look forward to many creative conversations together.
