Lyn Rowden
Current Role: Director, The Tragedy of Macbeth
Biography: Having a love of theater, a disability, and a lack of funds, Lyn Rowden is a co-founder of Recycled Shakespeare Company, hoping to bring the experience of theater to everyone. Singing and acting since childhood, Lyn’s recent interest came from enjoying her son’s Gilbert & Sullivan performances and her daughter’s love of Shakespeare. In addition to assisting in production, artistic direction, set, publicity and treasury of RSC events, Lyn has appeared in every show including special performances at Colby, Waterville Opera House, Head of Falls, local TV in Fairfield and Belfast, and the sonnet day in NH. She enjoys bringing small roles to life in creative ways as a fairy, flirt, bard, goddess, witch, queen, producer, gossip, or servant, often with a song, always with a touch of Rude Mechanical. She lives in Fairfield with a busy household of family, friends and dogs where partying like it’s 1599 is a way of life.
