At OSU, Andrew Kimbrough teaches courses in theatre history and dramatic literature. He began his show business career in Los Angeles, where for ten years he worked in studio lighting for commercials, music videos, and feature films. While in Los Angeles he acted in TV, film, and on stage, and joined the Screen Actors Guild; he also produced and directed two short films, To Each His Own and Gun Nuts, both of which won awards at regional film festivals. As a researcher, Dr. Kimbrough has written on the human voice, contemporary literary theory, and dramatic literature. His articles and reviews appear in the leading theatre scholarly journals; his book, Dramatic Theories of Voice in the Twentieth Century, was published by Cambria Press in 2011. Directing credits for university theatre include Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, Romeo & Juliet, Tempest, and As You Like It, Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, Chekhov’s Seagull, Charles Mee’s Summertime and John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt: A Parable. In 2007 Kimbrough and his wife Zhiguang Liu were fortunate to join Louisiana’s Swine Palace production of The Heidi Chronicles in Shanghai and Beijing as translators and dramaturges.
