Support SisterPlay to expose the systemic failures that cost Lisa Ostler her life and ensure no more unheard voices are ignored.
About this Event

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.

Event Highlights

Live Performance: Experience excerpts from SisterPlay performed live.

The Story Behind the Play: A candid conversation with playwright and director Elizabeth Ostler.

Silent Auction: Bid on unique items and curated experiences, with all proceeds supporting the production.

Your Impact

By attending or donating, you are directly funding the world premiere production of SisterPlay. Your support, at any level, helps transform a tragic loss into a powerful catalyst for systemic change.

Can’t attend in person? You can still make a difference by Donating Here.

Tax-Deductible: All donations are tax-deductible through The Field, our non-profit fiscal sponsor.

Join us in honoring Lisa’s memory. Together, we can ensure she is finally heard.
