INSTRUCTOR

Rachel Ingram is a New York-bred and based storyteller. She has worked extensively in the New York theatre scene as a performer and director at the Lark, the Tank, the Flea and New York Theatre Workshop.

She has most recently served as screenwriter and co-executive producer of a trilogy of films based on music by Mary J Blige produced by Blue Butterfly Productions and Davis Entertainment airing on Lifetime. The question, “what is our responsibility to each other?” keeps her up at night and is the connective tissue between her art and life. She is repped by IAG.
