Suzanne Ankrum

Actor, Director, Teaching Artist.

I am passionate about the stories underneath the words. I carefully craft the physical story that supports the structure of a play. I am a collaborative director, and I work with actors to unite a vision for the story with their insight and style. I find moments of magic in the ordinary and grounded truth in the extraordinary.

As a Director, I have helmed Sarah’ Ruhl’s Eurydice and Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses at North Broward Prep, directed a production of Anon(ymous) at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, collaboratively created and directed an original play as part of Hartbeat Ensemble’s Arts in the Park program, and co-created and devised multiple physical theatre pieces with Bated Breath Theatre and The Other Voice Company. I currently teach Directing 1 and 2 at Lynn University and am in the process of securing funding and developing the initial season for a new theatre company in Jupiter, FL - focused on bringing diverse, contemporary women’s stories the stage. I have an MFA in Acting from the University of Tennessee.
