L Morgan Lee is an award-winning actress, director, and writer whose work continues to break barriers and inspire audiences. She made history as the first openly transgender actor ever nominated for a Tony Award®, recognized for her luminous performance in A STRANGE LOOP on Broadway — the groundbreaking, Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that went on to win the Tony Award® for Best Musical and whose Broadway cast recording received a Grammy Award® nomination. Her performance also earned her a Drama League nomination, following an acclaimed Off-Broadway run that brought her an Obie Award and a Lucille Lortel nomination. With a career spanning over two decades, L Morgan has appeared on

stages across Broadway, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Belgium, and beyond. Her voice can be heard on the Grammy-nominated Broadway cast recording of A STRANGE LOOP, as well as on The Rainbow Lullaby Album (Broadway Records), Ethan Carlson's Her Sound, Vol. 3, Joe Iconis’ album (Ghostlight Records), and more. She also lends her voice to AKS Immersive’s DRAMA: AN AURAL EXPERIENCE as Zelda and the SUGAR MAPLE AUDIO SERIES (Osiris Media), where she brings life to “Sugar Fly Soul” as Ornate Williams alongside a cast that includes Fred Savage, Michele Hurst, and Jacob Ming-Trent.

A recipient of the Mark O’Donnell Prize, L Morgan has championed new work and directed various projects in development including Daybreak: In Concert at the Beechman (Bobby Cronin), Shualee Cook’s play, Cercle Hermaphroditos, and a series of four consecutive seasons of the BTB Theatre Festival Finales: LIMITLESS, OVERHEARD, DARE, and BLISS (in which her work as a playwright is also included - THE LEARNING CURVE). These evenings were made up of commissioned scenes and monologues by TNB2S+ artists and have been published by Broadway Licensing.

In 2024, she received a Visibility Award from the Human Rights Campaign, recognizing her impact as both a cultural voice and an advocate.

In October 2025, L Morgan directed a star-studded benefit concert of The Drowsy Chaperone at Carnegie Hall—believed to be one of the earliest, and possibly the first, instances of an openly transgender artist directing a major event at the historic venue. It was recently announced that the concert will receive Special Recognition honors at the 37th GLAAD Media Awards this Spring.
