Bio
|
Gin Hammond received her MFA from the American Repertory Theatre Institute for Advanced
Theatre Training at Harvard University / Moscow Art Theatre School. A native
of San Diego, she has worked steadily across the country at theatres such as
The Guthrie, Arena Stage, The Longwharf Theatre, ACT, The Pasadena Playhouse,
ART, The Berkshire Theatre Festival and The Studio Theatre. She has also performed
internationally at the Moscow Art Theatre and the Roadside Theatre in Heidelberg,
Germany. Additionally, Ms. Hammond is a grant recipient of the Ford Mellon
Foundation for her work on a multi-cultural anthology of plays, under the
auspices of Ms. Ruby Dee.
Favorite performances include Leafy Lee in Polk County, voted one of the
top ten plays of 2002 by the New York Times, the 24 characters of The Syringa
Tree, and the highly vulnerable yet Machiavellian character of Wendy/Zena in the
remarkable play by Cassandra Medley entitled NoonDay Sun -- one of several plays
Ms. Hammond has appeared in portraying the compelling dynamics of racial
ambiguity.
