Lisa Danielle Buch (Playwright/Performer) was born and raised in metro Detroit, Michigan. She always had an interest in investigating the human experience, and shortly after receiving her BA in Psychology, decided to pursue acting as a career and moved to NYC. After a few years in the acting field in New York, she was accepted to the MFA Acting program at Ohio University (OU), where she graduated in May 2018. In her final year, she chose to do an independent study to create and write her own one-woman show, resulting in SIMPLE MATH. She is passionate about new work, social justice theater, and seeing how theatrical storytelling can shape and change an audience.

about simple math

In this poignant one-woman show, directed by Ben Stockman, Lisa reflects on a life changing experience that put her on the path to career success, but took advantage of her still-developing sense of self and timidity in the face of sexual pressure from a trusted mentor.

 

In mathematics, “imaginary numbers,” or “i,” were created to represent numbers we didn’t originally think existed. By simply accepting that “i” exists, complex equations can be solved that were previously impossible. Just because something cannot be clearly defined does not mean it doesn’t exist; and it definitely doesn’t mean it is imaginary.

 

In SIMPLE MATH, Lisa explores the complex equation behind sexual assault, acknowledges that “i” exist(s), and finds healing at the end of a confounding calculation.
