Maureen Hawkins
Guest Director

Maureen Hawkins is very much looking forward to directing Morgan Ludlow’s lovely play, Ruth and the Sea, this fall as her directing debut with Pacific Play Company. Working again with two of her favorite Seattle actors, Ruth McCree and Erin Ison, puts the “icing” on what is already a very rich and intriguing project.  Her past Seattle directing projects include Doubt, Language Art (an evening of one-acts by David Ives and Shel Silerstein), The Young Man from Atlanta and Durang7 --- all for Stone Soup Theatre. Other favorite directing ventures include A Bright Room Called Day, God’s Country, The Cripple of Inishmaan, An Experiment with an Air Pump, and Our Country’s Good.

As an actor, she has enjoyed both leading and supporting roles at Village Theatre, Seattle Rep, Intiman, ACT, Woman Seeking, The Play Factory, Montana Repertory Theatre, The Empty Space and others. In addition, she has accumulated several interesting film and television credits throughout a long and varied career. She has also been an NEA Artist-in-the-schools throughout Washington and Alaska and has been a returning guest director at Seattle area schools.

Maureen holds an M.A. in Theatre from Northwestern University and is a proud member of Actor’s Equity and SAG/AFTRA.
