Lynn Timmons Edwards – singer, actor, writer, director
was thrilled to perform in Friends, a Class Act at the Herberger Theater Center and The Ladies of Tin Pan Alley recently. Her first penned play, Beep in the Night, was produced at The Studio in the 2010 New Summer Shorts Festival, in which she also made her Studio directing debut with Decker and Ducker. She performs as the narrator in The Old Maid and the Thief, an independently produced chamber opera directed by fellow Studio member Christy Welty. A graduate of the Theater and Film Department of Denison University, Lynn performed in classical, experimental, musical and children’s theater productions throughout high school and college. As part of her Denison degree, she spent a semester in New York City working for director Jerry Adler on Words and Music featuring Sammy Cahn and the 1975 Broadway revival of My Fair Lady. After moving to Arizona in 1977, she worked at the Lyric Opera Theater as their Marketing Director and spent five years as the Community Development and Performing Arts Director for the Arizona Commission on the Arts. She spent the last years of her career with the City of Phoenix demonstrating that theater and politics is pretty much the same thing. In 2008, Lynn stepped on stage again at the Arizona Women’s Theater Pandora Festival to debut the role of Babe Didrikson in Babe, An Olympic Musical composed by fellow Studio member Andrea Jill Higgins. A summertime resident of Flagstaff, Lynn is also writing a play about Mary-Russell Farrell Colton, a founder of the Museum of Northern Arizona, based on the book One Woman’s West.
