Lisa
Founding Member, Pledge Master

"Who me? Get on a stage and act like a freak?" questioned the innocent, wide-eyed graduate after the phone call that would lead her to corruption beyond return. But DJ K-Tell, in his oh-so-persuasive way, managed to sway Lisa to perform a skit during one of his newly acquired DJ gigs at Bob and Barbara's. That was in May 1997. Little did she realize just how cathartic and contagious the next few years of Dumpsta fame would be. Slowly and steadily, the troupe formed, growing beyond the DJ's wildest, most twisted imagination as others found their way into the Dumpsta. But in September 1998, Lisa's fellow Players received news of the most shocking nature. In a bout of temporary insanity, Lisa fled to Manhattan to pursue a life of stress and brainwashing at yet another institution...of higher learning, that is. She quickly became addicted to the bright lights and sleazy charm of the East Village. With a Greyhound bus as her only lifeline to the safe world inside the Dumpsta, Lisa managed to return occasionally, as she longed for the comfort of the small, splintering Stage and warmth of the flickering spotlight. She continues to escape the Big Apple in search of that monthly Dumpsta fix and a good dose of brotherly love.

Highlights of Dumpsta moments include performing "Rosemary's Baby" at The Reject Film Festival for film director extraordinaire John Waters.
