Elizabeth LeCompte (born April 28, 1944) is a founding member of The Wooster Group. She began her experimental theater work in 1970 when she joined Richard Schechner's theater troupe The Performance Group. While working with The Performance Group she began developing a series of plays based on the experiences of fellow group member Spalding Gray. The new experimental work, beginning with the production of Sakonnet Point in 1975 was distinct from the methods of The Performance Group. In 1980, The Performance Group ceased to exist, while The Wooster Group continues to stage new productions with LeCompte serving as director.
