Director, Theatre for the Very Young Performer
Since Rachel started performing with Encore Stage & Studio (then The Children’s Theatre of Arlington) at the age of 9, she’s been smitten with theatre’s power to entertain and transform. Since then, she’s earned her MFA in devised theatre and teaches theatre to students ages 5-105. Her TYA and TVYA works include A Sidewalk Stroll and Circolo/Circle (Encore Stage & Studio), A Lump of Coal for Christmas (Adventure Theatre, Understudy-Performed), The Little Crane and the Long Journey (Crane Fable), and Balloon Plays (Babel Productions). Rachel is a four-time recipient of an Artist Fellowship from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and is a Producing Playwright with the Welders.
