Rebecca Spafford

REBECCA SPAFFORD is indebted to Oberon, King of the Fairies, for introducing her to Colorado theatre over 20 years ago; it’s a story that continues to unfold. She has worked with David Bowie, Mickey Mouse, Big Bird, and Cirque du Soleil, and has also toured with Yo Gabba Gabba and SuperWhy. OpenStage is her creative home. Some of her favorite acting roles are Agnes in Bug, Karen in August: Osage County, Tanya Shepke in The North Plan and Jo/Mae West in Dirty Blonde. She loves designing costumes and hair/wigs and has been teaching these skills at Fossil Ridge High School for almost 10 years. She’s pretty stoked to revisit Big Fish– one of her early shows at Fossil and her Favorite Musical! Rebecca is honored to have received the Colorado Theatre Guild’s Henry Award for Outstanding Costume Design (Tier 2) for Dangerous Liaisons, The Crucible, and Murder on the Orient Express, all with OpenStage. Her favorite recognition is receiving the OpenStage Founders’ Award, which is awarded for outstanding long-term contributions to the Company. Rebecca would like to thank all the numerous hands, hearts, needle stabs, and glue-gun victims that volunteer on her projects to bring them to life!
