SUZANNE ADAMS is the Artistic & Managing Director of Opening Doors Theatre Company.  She juggles her time directing, producing and performing around NYC. 

For the ODTC “Closing Notice Series®”, she recently produced the hilarious Season Two romp, The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public and directed the delightful and touching Flora the Red Menace.  In Season One she produced the critically acclaimed and MAC Award-nominated Bring Back Birdie, and enjoyed playing the role of Sydney in the highly anticipated It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman!  All “Closing Notice Series®” shows have enjoyed sold out shows.

Suzanne has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of Broadway's most exciting composers and performers.  Coming soon she will be in The View from Here and a lead player in the world premier of The Mumblings, both with Little Hibiscus Productions.  She had a blast being in the award winning riot-fest, What's Your Problem?! (written by Hector Coris) and was honored in Montreal, where it won awards for Best Musical and Best Ensemble Performance in the 2006 Harvest LGBT International Theatre Festival.  She recorded her demo CD at RPM Studios, produced by Jeffrey Lesser with musical direction by Georgia Stitt.  NYC credits include Malcolm Epstein: The Musical (by David Austin), Believe in Me...A Bigfoot Musical (by Michael Holland, NYC Fringe Festival), a workshop for Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich at Ars Nova, The Songs of Georgia Stitt at The Duplex, and she was a featured soloist in the sold out Jason Robert Brown concert at Cooper Union.  She recently directed the controversial play, Imagining Brad at the Times Square Arts Center and produced and starred in the popular This Isn’t Your Mama’s Musical Theater in 2002 and 2004.   

Suzanne created the workshop “Acting through Song®” and directs and coaches many students privately for auditions and major performances in musical theater & cabaret. She is also an experienced acting coach (studied in Meisner, Stanislavski and Alexander Techniques – and helps actors create their OWN technique) and has successfully coached actors with monologues, scenes, full characters and the general business of being an actor in NYC. More info at: www.SuzanneAdams.com.
