Rebecca Rovezzi
(she/her) is an DC based director specializing in the development of joyfully fearless new work.
Rebecca is the current Artistic Associate at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, prior to which she worked in new work development at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company and Portland Stage. A few favorite directing credits include Kate Hamill’s Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Mary Zimmerman’s The Secret in the Wings, Molly Burdick’s Light Green Moss, Holly Hughes’ Clit Notes, and Sam Steiner’s Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons. Rebecca graduated from Skidmore College with a Bachelor of Science in Theater with Honors with a concentration in directing. She was awarded Margaret Ellen Clifford Memorial Prize in Theater.
Her mission is to constantly seek out narratives that take young women seriously. She loves stories center delightfully voracious women who take up space without shame or fear. She is also drawn to theatrical experiences that don’t fit neatly into specific genres and is always hungry to engage with plays and film that carry contradictions. Rebecca creates work that is capable of being both magical and mundane, monstrous and poetic, unsetting and sweet, or epic and intimate.
In her spare time, Rebecca is an active participant on the script reading teams for The Magic in Rough Spaces New Play Lab at Rorschach Theater, The Playwright’s Realm and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company.
