Eryn Lemmert

Eryn is a director and artist who grew up in the heart of Northeastern Wisconsin. Surrounded by a city full of art, she has always gravitated towards using theatre as a means of advocacy and understanding. 

Eryn is currently continuing her artistic journey as she pursues a B.F.A. in Directing at The University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where she hopes to ask questions about the different ways people experience life and what it means to be human. Eryn is passionate about using her work to bring people together, cultivate conversation, and inspire change by acknowledging the vast complexity of human nature. Art is Eryn’s world, and she is forever thrilled to share her creations and dig into sincere and necessary stories.

Thus far, at UNCSA, Eryn has had the opportunity to explore a wide selection of works spanning times and genres that all boldly examine humanity. This semester, she will be directing Stephen Massicotte’s Mary’s Wedding, a play that swirls the audience into a dream with wild, free, and tender seeds of possibility, battlefields piled with bodies, and asks, “How can we find a way to hold our memories and mistakes to our chest and use them to wake up a new and brighter future?”
