Lori Pitts
Washington Improv TheaterLori Pitts asked her parents for a WIT class for Christmas in 2016. Little did she know, it would be a gift that just kept on giving. Her parents love to be thanked daily.
Lori Pitts has a BA in theatre and completed WIT’s curriculum in 2017. Her three favorite improv related experiences have been performing with Second City when She The People was in residence at Woolly Mammoth in 2019, becoming a bad girl of improv (aka Hellcat), and meeting and marrying a fellow improviser on her indie team, Imagine Wagons (not necessarily in that order). She also performs with You’re Invited and Earth, Wind, & Tired.
During the day, Lori fights for justice! She is passionate about using the arts as a tool for social justice. She is the Artistic Director of Ally Theatre Company, and founded her own theatre and advocacy programming, Voices Unbarred. Both programs work together to use theatre to reimagine the prison system alongside people who are currently and formerly incarcerated. She is also a professional actor in the area.
