Lindsay Gleason

Theater Instructor

Lindsay is a proud local of Milwaukee, WI currently studying to earn her B.A. Theatre: Directing and Dramaturgy and B.A. Social Entrepreneurship from North Central College in Naperville, IL. Growing up as a theatre performer in Milwaukee, Lindsay fell in love with the work of telling stories through dance, music and acting, eventually finding herself drawn to production through directing and choreography. After taking a design thinking class in college, Lindsay came to find that in addition to being a theatre maker, she also loved problem solving and design, discovering that in addition to sharing stories through theatre, she wanted to share stories of people, organizations and businesses to assist them in creating a greater impact. Throughout her college career, Lindsay has served on a number of executive boards for student organizations such as Cardinal Dance Company, Students for Social Innovation, and North Central’s College Scholars program. Lindsay has worked as a Teaching artist at First Stage Children’s Theatre and Engaged Learning Facilitator at North Central’s Community Engaged Learning Department, as well as being a proud graduate of The Milwaukee Rep’s Professional Training Institute and First Stage’s Young Company. Lindsay intends to graduate with her degrees in May of 2022 and hopes to work in the Chicagoland area as an artist, educator, and community engagement director.
