Jeannie Marlin Woods

I am a professor of Theatre in Illinois with a passion for theatre around the world. I am and actor and director and artistic director of the Starry Night Repertory Theatre. My international experiences include teaching theatre and directing in Taiwan while there on Fulbright 1998-99, teaching global theatre on a ship for Semester at Sea, working as a guest artist for the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and participating in the La MaMa International Directors Symposium in Italy 2010. In the fall of 2010 I took a Starry Night production to Beijing and Shanghai, China to participate in a comedy festival there. I am interested in connecting with artists in Italy for future collaboration.
