Beth Lisick (born December 13, 1968 in Saratoga, California) is an American writer, performer, and author of six books. With Arline Klatte, she co-founded the Porchlight Storytelling Series[1] of spoken word performances in San Francisco in 2002.[2][3] Her spoken word performances were featured at the Lollapalooza festival, the South by Southwest Music Festival, Bumbershoot, and Lilith Fair.[4] She has toured with Sister Spit. She has also performed sketch comedy with the group White Noise Radio Theatre[5] at SF Sketchfest and has an ongoing film and stage collaboration with Tara Jepsen.[6] The pair wrote and acted in an original web series entitled "Rods and Cones", which was named one of Indiewire's 25 Best Series/Creators of 2014.
In 2009, she appeared in the film Everything Strange and New, directed by award-winning American filmmaker Frazer Bradshaw. The film screened at numerous festivals including Sundance Film Festival,[7] Munich Film Festival, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival,[8] and the San Francisco International Film Festival,[9] where it won the FIPRESCI Award.
In 2011 she received a grant from the Creative Work Fund to collaborate on a book project with Creativity Explored. The result is a ten-part series of chapbooks entitled Tell You What.
Lisick is married to recording engineer and producer Eli Crews. Together they have one child, Gus.[10]
