About

Rebecca is queer AEA and SAG actor based in New York. She grew up in Minneapolis, MN, where she attended the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists and later graduated from the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater BFA Actor Training Program. She has worked on and off-Broadway and at prominent regional theaters across the country, such as the Guthrie, Goodman, Chicago Shakespeare, and the Paramount. She can be seen on TV in Emperor of Ocean Park, Chicago PD and neXt, as well as in commercials for Jergens, Anheuser-Busch, State Farm, and Castor & Pollux.

When she is not acting she is working with young people. She has taught acting and musical theatre in Chicago Public Schools (K-8th grade) through arts enrichment programs facilitated by Filament Theatre, the Brainchild Collective, Porchlight Music Theatre, and Music House School of Performing Arts. She is especially passionate about working with neurodiverse learners and teaching sensory-friendly drama curriculum to students on the autism spectrum through the Red Kite Program at Chicago Children’s Theater. She has also been a private acting coach for teens and young adults for the last 6 years. She helps young actors find their creative voice and amplifies it.

Rebecca loves stories and storytelling in all its forms and believes in the power it has to build empathy, create connections, and strengthen community. She approaches each project - and student - with a ready mind, an open heart, and a spirit of play.
