JOSHUA LAPIERRE
"BE REAL, BE YOURSELF, BE UNIQUE, BE TRUE, BE HONEST, BE HUMBLE, BE HAPPY...."
Hello Everyone!
My name is Josh and I am a New England/NYC based actor, director, and theater educator
I am a strong character actor who strives to bring the human experience to life through character development and truthful emotion. In life we laugh, cry, love, hurt, fight, heal, etc. Through performance I want to share these parts of ourselves as a way to connect people from all walks of life in a shared and cathartic experience.
I attended Massachusetts' Collge of Liberal Arts and recieved a BA in Theatre. Since then I have been very fortunate to perform throught New England. I was a company member for The Seacoast Repertory Theatre, in Portsmouth NH for their 2022 & 2023 seasons.
As an eductor I have taught Acting Techniques and Shakespeare for the Portsmouth Performing Arts Academy and have been a guest lecturer at UMASS Boston and Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. During my residency at the Seacoast Rep I was also the direcotr of their Senior Rep Program, a theater program for senior citizens.
Along with performing I also enjoy traveling, cooking, the beach, and being an uncle to 6.
If I could pick one word to sum up how I wish to live my life:
Passionately
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to get to know me!
Origin Story
I was born and raised in Hubbardston, Massachusetts. The theater bug came to bite me at the extremely early age of six months old, when my two older sisters decided to tape construction paper horns on my head for our home production of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. Eventually I got to move up from the living room to perform in the local community theater. At the age of five I was cast in my first production, it was The Little Mermaid and I was a piece of seaweed! I finally knew what stardom felt like. From that moment on I was hooked, and what started off as a mere interest became an unwavering passion.
