Rachel H. Dickson

Gained her inspiration for Driven Theater Company (DTC) while performing in children's theater in Chicago, IL. Rachel secured her Master of Social Work license and coupled that with a Master of Fine Arts in order to marry the creative and didactic.  She is intrigued by using the powerful tool of theater to examine the statistics that are all around us.  She has extensive acting, directing, writing, producing and teaching expressions to her credit
