About

 

My Values:

Theatre is for everyone, Not just the most visible or dominant members of our society. As an educator, I work to make live performance accessible to students as both a powerful representational medium and a tool for interrogating the social landscape that drama often turns to as its subject. As a practitioner, I gravitate towards work that fosters empathy by asking audiences to relate to experiences that fall outside of their own.

Rachel is a Chicago-reared, Maine-based person interested in art, representation, and power.
