Bruce Clough BIO

Bruce worked as an English and Drama teacher, a legal editor, an actor, a band singer, a stage director and an acting coach. Decades ago he had the privilege of studying under Uta Hagen and performing with talents such as Sir Anthony Hopkins, F. Murray Abraham and James Gandolfini (before becoming Tony Soprano) at venues such as The Public Theatre, The Dallas Theater Center and The Actors Theatre of Louisville. In 2013 his last cabaret, The Dark Side, directed by Eric Michael Gillette and musical directed by Barry Levitt, filled NY houses and earned wonderful reviews. Since then Bruce ran a high school drama department, dealt with health issues but managed to avoid COVID. His current project, From Out of the Blues, is a much-needed therapeutic celebration of music from the New Orleans region. www.bruceclough.net
