Becca Shimkin BIO

Becca Shimkin has been working on and off stage since 8th grade when she created her first program for and appeared as Ms. Havisham in a musical version of Great Expectations. Since then she has created many more programs and appeared in many more shows, and added producing and box office manager to her résumé. Most recently she has appeared in multiple cabarets, musicals and operettas with the Village Light Opera Group, a brought-back-for-more production of Fifty Million Frenchmen with The Medicine Show Theatre, and concert versions of Brigadoon and Camelot on Broadway. She's also a pretty passable seamstress (her mom's a costume designer) and great baker.
