Rebecca Blum has been a prominent figure in the local theatre scene for the past two decades, with a special affinity for the works of William Shakespeare. Throughout the past decade, she has had the opportunity to perform in 16 of the Bard's 39 plays, a testament to her dedication to her craft.
Her most notable achievement in the realm of Shakespearean theatre was being part of an all-female cast in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [revised] with Raleigh Little Theatre and Actors Comedy Lab. This experience not only honed her skills as an actress but also allowed her to be a part of a unique and groundbreaking production.
Rebecca's passion for Shakespeare's works is evident in her bucket list, which includes performing in the remaining 23 plays and being a part of a live studio audience, not necessarily simultaneously. Her ambition and drive are qualities that have served her well in her career and personal life.
In addition to her work in theatre, Rebecca has recently begun to explore the world of film. She is actively building her resume by taking on local short films and industrial projects, and enjoys collaborating with local artists on a variety of projects. Her most recent venture can be seen in Bombshell Studio's short film, Faces (Helene),in which she appears alongside her husband and three daughters.
Born and raised in North Carolina, Rebecca is a proud graduate of Meredith College's theatre department. When she is not performing or working on film projects, she can be found as the General Manager of the Blum Household, where she expertly juggles the busy lives of her husband and their three amazing daughters.
Rebecca is also the Artistic Director of the Nickel Shakespeare Girls, a unique traveling performance troupe, and an Associate Director for Bare Theatre. Her dedication to her craft, her passion for storytelling, and her ability to balance multiple roles have made her a respected figure in the local arts community.
