Becca Wolff is a California-based director of theater & film. She explores the intersection of the theatrical and the confessional, collaborating with virtuosic performer/creators to explore deeply personal material in bold new ways.

Our Country, her collaboration with Annie Saunders of Wilderness, is currently touring, represented by Octopus Theatricals. The project has appeared at the Public Theater, Broad Stage in Santa Monica, Sibiu Festival in Romania, New York Stage & Film's Powerhouse, Summerhall @ the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival. The piece was commissioned by San Francisco Playhouse, and developed with crucial support from piece by piece productions and the Getty Villa.

Other projects include Giovanni Adams' critically acclaimed solo Love Is a Dirty Word, which premiered in a sold out run at VS. Theatre Company in LA, and toured to Z Space in San Francisco. Also at Z Space, she directed the Kilbanes’ smash-hit rock opera Weightless, produced in association with piece by piece productions. Weightless has since been presented at the ACT and at the Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival in association with BRIC Arts Media.

This summer, she will direct Hamlet for Telluride Theatre at the Town Park Festival Stage in Telluride, CO. In the Fall, she will direct Hamed Sinno’s The Suicide Bomber for Golden Thread Productions’ 2023 ReOrient Festival.

Recent productions in the Bay Area include the regional premiere of Clare Barron’s Dance Nation (San Francisco Playhouse) and Yilong Liu’s The Book of Mountains and Seas (New Conservatory Theatre Center, SF.) She also directed The Statue, a short film by Natalie Newman, which screened at San Diego Comic-Con 2021, Brooklyn International Film Festival, the Bay Area Intl Children’s Film Festival (Children’s Choice Award winner,) and Film Independent’s Project Involve. Further dates TBA soon.

She is developing projects with Christian Cagigal (Pandora,) Ken Robinson (Flying Easy,) and Ivana Shein (Canadian Book of the Dead)

Her work has been named to Best Of lists in the SF Chronicle and LA Weekly. Awards and nominations for her work include Princess Grace, Outstanding Solo Show & Outstanding Musical at the NYC Fringe, Ovations (Los Angeles), Theatre Bay Area and Bay Area Critics Circle. She is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama & co-creator of SCOTUS Theater. Member SDC.
