Allison Acuff (AD/Stage Directions) is a director and teaching artist whose passions include devising with an ensemble, reclaiming the literary canon, and boldly dismantling the patriarchy, one rehearsal at a time.

In 2017, Allison was a KCACTF SDC Region Four Finalist in directing and went on to study Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre and Advanced Directing at the National Theater Institute.
