Lee Brady is an award-winning San Francisco playwright who, like everyone else in theatre, wears several hats. She’s an actor (“Gin Game” in Antigua, Guatemala), “The Oldest Profession,” in San Francisco, CA. She is a founder/resident playwright for 3Girls Theatre (3girlstheatre.org), a teacher of playwriting (Monterey Peninsula College), and a theatre critic (Pacific Sun Newspaper). But writing plays is her first love and seeing them produced is her biggest thrill. Her plays have been produced in Memphis, New York City, Columbia, Missouri, Edinburgh, Scotland and Valdez and Alaska as well as in San Francisco.
Her latest play, Southern Lights,” had a run at Z Below theater in San Francisco (just before the pandemic!)
