| Introduction | My name is Rebecca Pearl Etzine. I am a first generation American, born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland to South African parents. I am a proud product of two Baltimore County magnet schools that fostered my love of theatre and the arts. I am currently a second year student at Fordham University, College at Lincoln Center where I am a theatre major with a double concentration in performance and directing. At age thirteen, I was introduced to the indescribable magic of performing Shakespeare. I have been hooked ever since. My goal as an artist is to share what an education in Elizabethan theatre has given me, to change the way we teach Shakespeare. |
