Deborah Blanche has been working in theatre, storytelling, film, radio and TV since her teens. After completing a Master of Fine Arts Degree at the University of Oklahoma, she studied in Great Britain where a passion for “original” theatre production was ignited. Since that time Deb has become best known for the one-woman plays, Chautauqua characters and storytelling programs that she researches, writes and performs locally, nationally and internationally. She also offers workshops, coaching sessions, and lecture-demonstrations related to her performances and theatrical skills.

When at home in New Mexico, Deb has done roles with other theatre companies as well as in film and TV. She has been a resident artist for the New Mexico Arts Division, a Chautauqua performer for the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities and an independent radio producer through KUNM-FM, Albuquerque. In recent years Deb has designed and implemented several innovative projects utilizing drama as a tool for personal transformation and interpersonal understanding. Her work has been funded by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities, New Mexico Women's Foundation and National Public Radio.
