Elizabeth Puccini

Elizabeth Puccini's work in theatre and film began as a stage manager on an Off-Broadway production of Anton Chekhov’s The Three Sisters, an experience that afforded her the opportunity to work with director Alan Langdon, a Master Teacher of Acting at Circle in the Square Repertory. Their collaboration continued with Langdon directing Elizabeth’s first play Four Corners of Suburbia produced by Double Helix Theatre Company. After the play’s successful run at The 30th Street Theatre (NY), it went on to win First Runner-Up at Stages Repertory Theatre’s 2001 Southwest Festival of New Plays.

The enthusiastic reception of Four Corners of Suburbia encouraged Elizabeth to adapt the play for the screen and direct her first feature film. The highlights of her experience in theatre and film include working with world-renowned theatre director André Gregory producing a radio production of Wallace Shawn’s play The Designated Mourner as well as working as a researcher for director Mike Newell on Revolution Studio’s Mona Lisa Smile starring Julia Roberts.

Elizabeth is presently at work on her next feature film The Black Monk, a psychological thriller set in Spain about a young man's search for the mystical heart of zero. A citizen of both the United States and Italy, Elizabeth presently lives in New York City with her husband and son.
