Debra Lee Failla - Elmwood Playhouse

Deb has over 25 years of directing experience at theatre companies in New York and Connecticut since receiving her BA in theatre from Penn State University. Elmwood audiences are familiar with Deb’s directing work from her productions of The Pillowman, Rabbit Hole, The Elephant Man, and Dinner with Friends, along with last season’s award-winning production of Next to Normal. Deb would like to thank everyone who donated their time and talent to make this production possible – from onstage, backstage, design and production – without you, this and all other productions would not happen. You are the backbone of the theatre.
