BETH BURNS – Master of Company / Theatrical
Deviser This Hidden Room is as much a theatre as a curiosity shop of experiences with the aim of dramatic pleasure and surprise. I am honored and challenged to work here, serving at the pleasure of the Matriarch.
My previous work includes studying playwriting with Edward Albee, winning an NEA grant for a collection of my short plays, performing and teaching at the world-famous Groundlings Theatre in Los Angeles, and most recently combining my love and study of Shakespeare with my improvisational background to direct several highly-acclaimed productions in beautiful Austin, Texas.
It has been an honor to direct Hidden Room shows that have played at Shakespeare’s Globe, Oxford University, the Shakespeare Institute, and the American Shakespeare Center. I look forward to more travel, and more opportunities to invite people inside The Hidden Room.
