Rebecca Rogers, Acting/Puppetry Instructor

Rebecca Rogers has a BA from The Evergreen State College with an emphasis in Performing Arts.  She has an extensive background (20+ years) in teaching and performing improvisational theatre, her passion. Rebecca has directed, produced, and performed in dozens of plays from Shakespeare to Agatha Christie.  She has also taught improv and acting classes all over the country to all ages, and recently in Paris, France.  Rebecca has held many roles in theatre: actor, teacher, director, assistant director, props master, stagehand, run crew, stage manager, and more!  She is also a veteran voiceover artist with numerous audiobooks, animation gigs, radio plays, and commercial work under her belt, including her newest gig with the French company ID2SON.

Rebecca’s greatest dream is to have an internationally-touring improv troupe that changes the world by bringing people and cultures together, one laugh at a time.
