We proudly present Lionel Morales, a Latin/Indigenous multi-disciplined artist from Cleveland, Ohio. Lionel’s career in the arts began with his love for music, creating and performing across the city with his hip-hop group, New Genesis. As an actor, Lionel has been involved in productions such as Alter by Tania Benites at Teatro Público de Cleveland; You Go On by Matt Gittins at BorderLight CLE 2025; and Haunted by Tara Moses at Cleveland Public Theatre.
This will be Lionel’s first venture in the world of playwriting. A self-proclaimed Shakespeare nerd, he has always been interested in the potential opportunity of writing his own script, and finally found the perfect starting point in Star Crossed, a story blended with elements of romance and Sci-Fi.
Lionel believes that art is one of the most pure and beautiful forms of expression, and hopes that his works reach and inspire others to express themselves uniquely and unapologetically.
