SisterPlay Fundraiser 2026: From Loss to Action

What happens when the system ignores a person's cries for help?

Ten years ago, Lisa Ostler lost her life in the Salt Lake County Metro J*il. Today, her sister Elizabeth is bringing that story to the stage to confront the institution that ignored Lisa's pleas for help.

SisterPlay is a raw, deeply personal blend of memory and reality. It traces Lisa’s battles with trauma, addiction, and mental illness, revealing the devastating consequences of being ignored by the systems meant to protect us.

We invite you to an evening of connection, reflection, and purpose as we raise the funds necessary to launch this production of SisterPlay in both New York City and Salt Lake City.
