Brooke began her acting career at the age of 10, starring in her elementary school Christmas pageant, Wise Guys and Starry Skies. Other childhood credits include a front porch puppet show (Concieved, written, directed by and starring Brooke Bailey) and an elaborately choreographed dance routine to Gloria Estevan’s “Conga.”In high school, she founded the Santee Chapter of the international Thespian Society and held weekly midnight meetings at the local Denny’s.

Brooke attended Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington earning a Bachelor’s degree in theatre performance and administration. She performed in such shows as Laundry and Bourbon, Arsenic and Old Lace, Cotton Patch Gospel, and The Good Woman of Szechwan.

During her junior year she co-wrote and acted in an original production entitled The body Image Show and has continued to be involved with the development and production of this work.

After graduating, Brooke, determined to be anything but a starving artist, managed to find employment that included such adventures as living in a teepee, eating chocolate chip cookies, begging for donations, exploring abandoned WWII bunkers, building fires, breeding orchids, and viewing Impressionistic art.

Taking a job as a theatre teacher for youth, Brooke finally found what felt like a calling and before long she was ready to recommit herself to a life in the performing arts. On the very same day that she made her final payment on her undergraduate loans, she signed the paperwork for her graduate school loans. While attending New York University she completed a Master’s degree in educational theatre, specializing in working with underprivileged youth and creating original performances.

Brook is currently an adjunct theatre instructor at Whitworth College where she also directs an educational touring show and a staged reading series. Last year she coordinated a Theatre for Social Justice Institute focusing on socio-economic discrimination in Spokane. .
