Dana Marley-Kolb



Dana Marley-Kolb is happy to be back directing her seventh show for the Pasadena Shakespeare Company. She began last season adapting and directing the company's first musical, The Beggar's Opera (LA Weekly "Best Musical" Award nominee). That was followed by the 1920's look at As You Like It. Two years ago she directed the opening show, Richard III, in our new and present space and the award winning Our Country's Good. In our premiere season, Dana directed Macbeth, and performed Viola in Twelfth Night, and Margaret in Much Ado About Nothing. Three summers ago, she adapted and directed a one hour version of Romeo and Juliet as the P.S.C.'s contribution for the John Anson Ford summer Family Festival. Dana was co-founder of the Strolling Players, a group which performed monthly Shakespearean readings, and she also served as assistant director for the Mark Taper Forum's production of Black Elk Speaks. She was trained at U.C. Santa Barbara, and at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Dana looks forward to a continuing relationship with the P.S.C., as well as directing at other theaters and venues, and thanks her family for their support and inspiration.
