Rebecca Allard (Managing Director)

Rebecca spent the first decade of her professional life in the theater. Her career centered on acting in New York City and summer stock, with a few side trips into other theatrical avenues, most notably as general manager for the Theatre of the Riverside Church’s 1973 season that included Miguel Piñero’s, “Short Eyes.” “Short Eyes” won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play, two Obies, and was later made into a motion picture. She then took a swift turn to the corporate world which led her to many responsibilities, ultimately as National Director of Technology Implementation at Deloitte & Touche and senior administrator on the equity syndicate desk at Lehman Brothers, where she sadly witnessed firsthand the death of Lehman. Rebecca has returned to Texas and is proud to assist Amphibian Stage Productions and its spunk, integrity and ambition.
