Jöel Doty

Action and Reaction - 2008

Lessons from the Family - 2011

Although Jöel's background is not formally in theater arts (MBA; MA - Counseling) she's always been interested in creative writing, and her daughter's work in theater and film inspired her to try her hand at screenplays and stage plays. She's completed two of each, and is working hard on several others. Since coming to St. Louis about a year ago, Jöel has enjoyed the contact with other writers through the St. Louis Writer's Group and she's both terrified and thrilled to have her characters brought to life at First Run. If you see someone watching the audience rather than the stage, it's just Jöel... watching for YOUR reaction!!!!
