As the consummate professional, Ann Starbuck finds the grounded, and often hilarious reality in the characters she plays and she has a great laugh!
Theater Week said about her solo show, GIRL SCOUT REJECTS, “displays excellent comedic timing and a subtle play of emotions as she portrays this slightly maladjusted character.” And LA Weekly said, “harrowingly beautiful and bittersweet…playing an endearing misfit.”
A dream of hers came true in June 2014, performing another solo show in Los Angeles...TIANANMEN ANNIE - a comedic look at finding your Chinese soul. It is her true story of living in Beijing in 1988-1989 as a student and working for CNN as a translator during the Tiananmen Square Uprising.
In the past couple of years she's also been playing Improv with the good folks at UCB and booked a great GUEST STAR on the critically acclaimed web series GOLDEN CALIFORNIA.
Ann's career started in theatre two decades ago. She has a BFA in Acting from the University of Colorado, and her first professional job was at The Colorado Shakespeare Festival. After that came two national tours, two Off-Broadway plays and a dozen other shows in NYC.
And she feels like this is her ingénue time! And by ingénue, she means the quirky aunt, the officious secretary, and the sassy diner waitress.
