At the end of 2023, Lu participated in the pre production for SUFFS written by Shaina Taub and directed by Leigh Silverman. In this pre-pro, Lu got to work with the creative team lead by Mayte Natalio with whom all choreography of the show was staged and prepped for the Broadway rehearsals.
SUFFS on Broadway Pre-Pro
Lu participated in the New York City staged reading of The Life of Death written by Joey Orton, Brad Silnutzer, Petro AP, Scott Hoying, and directed by broadway director Sammi Cannold. Lu was so happy to share this reading with colleagues Andrew Barth Feldman, Jessica Vosk, and Mackenzie Meadows
The Life of Death Staged Reading
Lu recently made her directorial debut in May 2022 by directing the Award-Winning play Red Card written by Andrea Olmos Tejado and was performed at Texas State University with the Jeremy Torres Theatre Lab. Red Card tells the story of immigrants which is why Lu couldn’t feel luckier and prouder of telling this intimate and raw story to the world. The show was reviewed and published on Broadway World.

In September of 2021, Lu starred as Valeria Texas State University’s production of El Nogalar directed by Ana Skidis Vargas and written by Tanya Saracho. This production was the first fully Spanish-translated version of the show and first-ever subtitled production at Texas State University.

Spring Awakening
Before COVID hit, Lu was cast her freshmen year of college in her first ever TXST production, Guys and Dolls, directed by Tom Delbello playing Martha and the ensemble. Unfortunately, the production was never opened because of COVID, which is why it keeps a very special place Lu’s my heart.
