What Students are Saying
Meet Brooke
Brooke Totman is an actor, writer and director. She is also the Co-founder and Artistic Director of 100 Lives Repertory. Brooke has appeared on stages in Los Angeles and Portland, has amassed over 30 featured and principal on-camera acting credits, and appeared in more than 40 stage productions. She has been an acting teacher/coach, and creative coach for the past 10 years.
“Sometimes, I worry that I’m biased toward the spectacle of theatre—I love, love a big flashy show with all the bells and whistles. And then I see a show like 21ten Theatre’s LAUGHING WILD, and I remember that really great theatre doesn’t need any bells and whistles at all. A person in a chair delivering a 30-minute monologue can be just as riveting as a flying carpet, especially if that person is Brooke Totman. Her monologue is a master class in inhabiting a character”.
