REBECCA SALZHAUER
is an actor and writer from New York City.
She graduated from Yale University with a BA in Theater & Performance Studies and Humanities.
Rebecca is at home with new work, rich text, offbeat comedy, hyper-articulate characters, and plays that get weird and/or embrace theater magic. She spent a lot of her childhood falling asleep to Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner's 2000 Year Old Man albums, which explains a lot.
Rebecca has recently worked on projects at Bay Street Theater, St. Lydia's, The Tank, LaMaMa, Symphony Space, and Cape Fear Regional Theatre. She studied classical acting at the British American Drama Academy's Midsummer in Oxford Program and is a proud alum of The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals.
Her writing has been published in The Forward, The New Haven Independent, and HowlRound Theatre Commons. She co-created and starred in the web series, i'm so happy for you!!!!! with her comedy trio, Stress Dream.
