Rachel Hutzenbiler

From director to teaching artist, and scenic artist to electrician, Rachel has done a little bit of everything in the theatre world.  As a current graduate student at Arizona State University pursuing an MFA in Theatre for Youth and Communities, they are developing their understanding of play, engagement, and collaboration within the classroom and the community beyond. 

Originally from Northern Virginia, they are deeply involved in theatre for youth with almost a decade of experience, directing shows such as Alice in Wonderland and The Hobbit, teaching in area elementary schools, leading educational and themed workshops, and is developing a love for immersive and interactive installation theatre.

Rachel is exploring how they can combine their love of directing, theatre for youth, and interactive performance techniques through the creation of their own work for youth and communities.
