Lucia Frangione has spent her life telling stories that reveal what it means to be human. An acclaimed playwright, actor, screenwriter, and author, Lucia is one of Canada's most celebrated storytellers. Her work has earned multiple national and international awards, including the prestigious Sydney J. Risk Prize and recognition from the Jessie Awards, with her plays produced across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia.

What makes Lucia's work so compelling isn't just her talent. It's her ability to find the extraordinary inside ordinary lives. To uncover the truths we often sense but rarely say out loud.

At SHIFT Sessions, Lucia will share a story about the roles we inherit, the ones we accept, and the moment we realize we're living a life we never consciously chose. It's a story about expectations, identity, and the quiet ways we can drift from ourselves while doing everything we thought we were supposed to do.

With equal parts wit and wisdom, Lucia explores what happens when we pause long enough to ask a dangerous question:

Whose life am I actually living?

This is not just a story about change.

It's a story about waking up to the possibility that it's not too late to choose again.
