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 2024. Excited to reimagine what musical theatre can be, she serves as the Head of Outreach & DEI at TRU YPAC (Young Professionals & Artists Circle) and a MUSE Steering Committee member.

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.

In love with theatre-pop, Lalit blends cheeky humour with soul-searching in her writing. Approaching her craft with a romantic zeal for life, she aims to capture not just her own journey, but also the shared experiences that resonate silently within so many of us.

Her academic journey also includes a BA Philosophy from University College London (UCL), an MSt Entrepreneurship from the University of Cambridge and a scholarship to join the TRU PDMP (Producer Development & Mentorship Program) Foundations Class.
