Lalit Sritara
Biography
Lalit Sritara is the first Thai wordsperson in the NYU Tisch Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program and a recipient of the Horace W. Goldsmith Fellowship, the Summer Song Theater Festival Artist Development Grant and the Maestra Musical Writers Festival Scholarship.
Her works have been featured at the Lincoln Center, MTF Summer Roundtable Concert (Musical Theatre Factory), the Musical Writers Festival, the Summer Song Theater Festival, Songwriters Night in NYC (Society of Composers & Lyricists), Ourboroughs (ACN NYC), Bangkok Theatre Festival, Bangkok Design Week, Samyan Mitrtown, TIMELINE the Musical, BANGKOKIAN: A Concept Musical (FahFun Production), BREAKOUT: a Family Drama Zoomsical (New Musicals Inc) and more. She co-wrote the book for a Rachadalai musical, Thailand’s largest theatrical production company, and wrote lyrics for an LA-based musical film, a semi-finalist in Sundance’s Development Track.
With the excitement of a kid on Christmas morning, she’s on a mission to capture those “aha!” moments that catch us by surprise—the ones that make you go, “Wait, you too?!” With a knack for turning awkward into art and cringes into comedy, she turns life’s questions into lyrical explorations.
Her journey also includes a BA Philosophy from University College London (UCL), an MSt Entrepreneurship from the University of Cambridge and the TRU PDMP (Producer Development & Mentorship Program) Foundations Class.
