AUDREY RUMSBY (Director)

Audrey Rumsby has performed and directed more than 70 full-length stage productions in London, New York, Los Angeles, Boulder, and San Francisco. 45 of these have been  Shakespeare including the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. The eldest daughter of two performing artists, she developed an early passion for performance and all areas of the production process. She left school at the age of 8 in order to devote all of her time to her parent's Shakespeare company, San Jose Youth Shakespeare. At 18 she attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art as one of the youngest students ever accepted into their post-graduate program. Upon graduating, she cultivated her career as an actor in theatre productions across the US and UK, and gradually found herself being asked to direct and choreograph. Notable appearances include a role as lead musician and dancer for the London 2012 Olympics Team Welcoming Ceremonies and directing work for Theatreworks and the Colorado and Arabian Shakespeare Festivals. 

In 2015, she made a pitch to create her first feature film; a documentary about her beloved mentors, Barry and Joan Grantham. Some people open your eyes to theatre and music in astounding ways. For director Audrey Rumsby, her first encounter with Barry and Joan changed everything. This quirky portrait of artistic mentorship will rewire how you look at play.
