Josh Lefkowitz is an actor, writer, and solo performer.
His first full-length monologue, titled HELP WANTED: A Personal Search for Meaningful Employment at the Start of the 21st Century, has played to sold-out crowds and rave reviews in theaters and spaces across the U.S., including Baltimore Centerstage, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Chicago’s Single File Festival, Yale University, Dixon Place, and Access Theater in NYC.
Josh’s second monologue – NOW WHAT? – was commissioned by Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, where it premiered in Fall 2007 following workshops at Dixon Place and The Kennedy Center. It will play at Baltimore Centerstage in January 2008.
Josh was an Associate Artist at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, where he created work under the mentorship of actor/writer Eric Bogosian. He has also collaborated numerous times with performance artist Holly Hughes, including on After A Fashion, an original piece that was remounted at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC.
As an actor, he has worked with Playwrights Horizons, NY Stage & Film, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Woolly Mammoth, Baltimore Centerstage, Signature Theatre, Arena Stage, Olney Theatre, and others. His stories and poems have been published in various journals online and in print, and he has recorded personal essays for NPR’s “All Things Considered.”
Josh received a Young Artist grant from the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, the Avery Hopwood Award for Poetry at the University of Michigan, and was selected last summer as one of NY’s Best Emerging Jewish Performers.
He used to wait tables and hopes to never do so again.
