Lisa Halsey

Now a proud member of the Naples community for more than two years, Lisa brings a deep passion for philanthropy and the arts to her role as Chief Advancement Officer at Gulfshore Playhouse. Originally from just outside Erie, Pennsylvania, Lisa spent over 26 years at WQLN, the local PBS and NPR affiliate.

Her time in public media inspired a lifelong commitment to nonprofit work that enriches lives, educates children, and engages communities. At Gulfshore Playhouse, Lisa is thrilled to continue advancing those same core values while supporting professional theatre and arts education in Southwest Florida. Lisa earned her CFRE (Certified Fundraising Executive) certification in 2019.

Since relocating to Naples, Lisa has fully embraced her new community. She is a proud graduate of the Leadership Collier Class of 2025, a member of the Naples Woman’s Club, and a volunteer with Baby Basics and the Harry Chapin Food Bank. She also loves learning the ins and outs of theatre and is grateful to be part of the remarkable team bringing world-class professional productions to the Gulfshore Playhouse stage.

Lisa is married to her husband, Kevin, and is the proud mom of three amazing adult children. She now enjoys spending time outdoors in the Florida sunshine, connecting with new friends and neighbors, and continuing to learn and explore all that Naples has to offer.
