Suzanne Ankrum

Actor, Director, Teaching Artist.

...Ankrum fully, movingly realizes the character’s own path forward. Ankrum embodies Alice initially as a bundle of nerves, uptight and un-confident in the embrace of her sexuality, and the resolve she eventually discovers within herself is bracing to watch.
— FL Theatre Onstage
Every performer grasped the characters’ dramatic expectations… and Suzanne Ankrum’s composed Countess Andrenyi [is one of] a few of the performances that standout...a thrilling evening of entertainment.
