Tedde Moore

Assistant Director & Text Coach
A Midsummer Night's Dream

2006 York Shakespeare Festival

Ms. Moore, trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, London, England, has been a professional actress since 1960. In 2002 she received a Dora Mavor Moore Award (named for her grandmother) for Outstanding Female Lead, Independent Theatre. Her Genie honoured film work includes the role of Miss Shields in the perennial Christmas favourite, A Christmas Story. She is co-author, with Lynda Mason Green, of a book of Canadian performers' anecdotes, Standing Naked in The Wings. Ms. Moore also teaches acting and stagecraft to actors and opera singers.

This is the third time she has had the privilege of working with director David Ferry as text coach. "It is an honour to partake in his productions and a privilege to share the creative process with such gifted artists. Thank-you all."

Tedde Moore was six years old when she saw her first Shakespearean play in the Stratford Festival tent and her grandmother Dora would always say, "All you’ll ever need to know about life and human nature you will find in Shakespeare’s plays."
