Lee Rush has loved performing for as long as she can remember, but what keeps drawing her back is the chance to step into someone else’s world and see what happens there. She brings a natural sense of humor, curiosity, and emotional honesty to her work, along with an instinct for the rhythm and timing of a piece.

Whether working on stage, behind a microphone, or simply digging into a great piece of text, Lee loves discovering what makes a character tick and finding the truth beneath the words. She is especially drawn to sharp comedy, conversational storytelling, and material that allows humor and vulnerability to live side by side.

For Lee, performing is ultimately about connection: listening, responding, telling a good story, and making an audience feel something. She is continuing to expand her work in both acting and voice-over, always looking for the next character, story, or wonderfully unexpected opportunity to play.

Lee is an actress and voice artist whose work spans sharp comedy, intimate drama, and character-driven storytelling. Onstage, she has brought emotional nuance to roles like Rosemary Sydney in Picnic (“Rosemary Sydney”) and Mother Miriam Ruth in Agnes of God (“Mother Miriam Ruth”), while unleashing her comedic instincts as Bananas Shaughnessy in The House of Blue Leaves (“Bananas Shaugnessy”) and Jess in Complete Works…Shakespeare Abridged (“Jess”). Her musical theatre credits highlight her versatility, from Miss Hannigan in Annie to the delightfully wicked Gumpella Finklestink in Hansel & Gretel (“Witch (Gumpella Finklestink)”). On film, she has collaborated frequently with Scorpio Film Releasing, appearing as Blanche DeWolfe in Before the Night Is Over (“Blanche DeWolfe”) and Doris Romansky in Disco Exorcist (“Doris Romansky”). Across all mediums, Lee brings humor, curiosity, and emotional honesty to her work, always seeking the truth beneath the words and the connection that makes a story land. Email: leerushri@gmail.com
