I’m Neil Brookshire. I’m an actor, writer, and visual artist.
Born in Wyoming, I went to middle and high school in New Mexico. I earned a BA from Boise State University and an MFA in Acting from Northern Illinois University. As an actor my regional theater credits include Great Lakes Theater, Boise Contemporary Theater, Idaho Dance Theatre, Opera Idaho, Seattle Novyi Theatre, People’s Light, Cadence Theatre Co, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, Door Shakespeare, Renaissance Theaterworks, Peninsula Players, Tennessee Shakespeare Co., and ten seasons with the Idaho Shakespeare Festival.
I have been fortunate to work with a number of incredible people on independent short and feature films. Feature film credits: The Pact and Coming Up For Air.
And here is some of my other work:
