  Rebecca Coopersmith sang from her youth, to the annoyance of her siblings.  Her grandfather supported her endeavors and helped to provide music lessons for her. He and her mother, both theater lovers themselves, were the first to introduce her to The Phantom of the Opera and started her on the journey of theater. Instantly enamored by the stage, she began performing in school and camp productions (often directed by Rebecca Lopkin) and was eager to play every role. She adores building and sharing her characters, regardless of the size of the role, and performing on stage. She dreams of performing on Broadway and in Lincoln Center and is excited about sharing her love for theater with others. Rebecca is currently pursuing a degree in Music Performance and Education with a concentration in voice at the Aaron Copland School of Music at CUNY Queens College. When she’s not thinking about the theater, she enjoys reading, listening to movie scores, and practicing with her two other instruments, cello and piano.
