Brade Bradshaw

Actor/Director/Coach

Anchor 1

Actor / Director

I’m a Chicago based actor & director in pursuit of meaningful works that spark conversation and reflection. Originally from Texas, I’ve called Chicago home since 2018, and I’ve truly fallen in love with this wonderful city and its thriving artistic community. Aside from performing, I love painting nights with my partner, walks along the lakefront, and snuggles from my two cats, Phoebe & Dolly.  I love collaborating and creating with peers, so reach out! Let’s grab coffee. :)

Nothing is more rewarding than watching my students grow in their craft.  My approach focuses on creating a supportive environment, helping each actor reach their unique potential and take pride in their performance. Whether you're looking for assistance with a professional audition, looking to hone your craft, or if this is your first acting lesson I'm here to support you to grow and polish your performance skills.
