Hi, I’m Beau Bratcher, a multidisciplinary theatre artist and educator based in New Orleans.

I work to foster learner-centered, equity-minded practice, collaborating with ensembles to realize bold, thoughtful work while mentoring students, preserving safety, and expanding access to the arts for underrepresented communities. I lead through transitions, design curricula, and advocate for DEI and anti-racist practices in every project.
