Emily Lyon

NYC Director focused on the poetry and politics of language. Also works with film, dramaturgy, activism, and puns.

Kudos to @nytimes on the comic timing of The Daily audio screw up.

Michael Barbaro says “please make this compelling because we need an episode” and then… silence…

@NoahWPierce @vinn_ayy The key change

@FairWageOnStage After being told a week earlier that I’d now be working for free, I was then locked out of my work email with no warning. 🙃

@StevenStrafford Feel free to counter offer your teachers with any of the plays on the Expand the Canon list. Actively anti-racist AND excellent plays by women spanning any era. https://t.co/1QDlBA4OoD

[Emily Lyon @Lyon_Em]

It’s such a missed opportunity not to have this number go to a climate info or grief hotline. ⁦@LastWeekTonight⁩ would have taken that up: can you help out ⁦@dontlookupfilm⁩ ?

[Emily Lyon @Lyon_Em]

This is theraputic, honestly.

Shout out to ⁦@StaplesStores⁩ for making me feel less behind.

[Emily Lyon @Lyon_Em]

Honestly offended that this has nothing to do with puns.

This will, however, be the title of my comedy special.

@UN_Women Anything from the Expand the Canon list! #expandthecanon https://t.co/1QDlBA4OoD

@shenyc_arts Hey! Would love to chat with you — we’ve got a list of classic plays by women at https://t.co/75ic1ttlsh, if regionals need options in place of Shakespeare and Ibsen!

[Emily Lyon @Lyon_Em]

@emiliasd Would love to talk to you about @HedgepigEns & Expand the Canon!

[Emily Lyon @Lyon_Em]

@ejwestlake @DRosvally @EarlyModernDoc I love that your example and practice is enduring! Still one of my favorite college classes. @ejwestlake is brilliant

[Emily Lyon @Lyon_Em]

@danaturg Do you know @HedgepigEns and their #ExpandTheCanon project? Would love to be in contact about how we could keep discussing what legacy is essential! https://t.co/75ic1ttlsh for easy reference

@stoolboom @carlygantt This is unfair! I’ll be doing a DSR box step between 1, 2, 4 & 5 plz and thank youuu

Biometric information lasts for life. Even when these surveillance tools are ostensibly used for well-intentioned goals, like aid distribution, the results are far too often tragic.

@NationalTheatre Thrilled Star Drawing!
Super curious what happens in the next act if that’s where this is going

[Emily Lyon @Lyon_Em]

There is nothing quite like the joy of finding a copy of a play you’ve been searching for. Marking a play from the 1600s “found”? YESSS #ExpandTheCanon #dramaturgy

How many times do we have to say it: surveillance is a danger, not safety.
