Hello, my name is Lisa Flato. I’ve been intrigued by acting and the theatre since I was ten years old and I watched the Wicked Witch of the West disappear into a trap door during a performance at the Sacramento Music Festival. I stayed close to home tackling my undergrad whilst performing at American River College, where my favorite role was Myrrhine in Lysistrata.

Moving to San Francisco to finish my Bachelor’s degree changed my life for the better. I not only met my life partner there but established myself as an artist. Working with peers to create and collaborate on original pieces and performing in local productions of classics such as Shakespeare and Shaw. I traveled to London and studied for a Summer with The Royal National Theatre and met the most amazing people who have remained life long friends. Craving more adventure I moved to New York City, performing, learning, living until I moved back to Northern California in 2007. Since then I’ve been aTeaching Artist, Mother, Yoga Instructor and amateur photographer.

I feel so lucky to be a working actor in the Bay Area, whether it’s Film, Commercials or Stage!
