CASEY TURNER (Rachel Corrie) has been performing since the age of 12. Although she started as a juggler and clown, Casey went to the University of Southern Maine to pursue acting. She has been acting in Portland for a few years now and is equal parts excited and terrified to tackle her first one-woman show. A few past shows include 4000 Miles, The Little Dog Laughed (Good Theater), Eurydice (The Theater Project), Tigers Be Still (Dramatic Repertory Company), Killer Joe (SPACE), The Lonesome West (American Irish Repertory Ensemble). Theatre has been her home for many years, but she has started reaching her fingers into the film world. You can find her in "See Girl Run" and "The Hanover House." Recently, Casey and her aerial dance partner, together a part of Apparatus Dance Theater, gave a TEDx talk in Brunswick, Maine that combined aerial dance with painting, which led to her first ever art show. Casey would like to dedicate her performance to Amy Adams. Another strong woman gone before her time

RACHEL CORRIE was born April 10, 1979, in Olympia, Washington, at the southern tip of Puget Sound. Throughout her school years, she was active in volunteer efforts addressing problems of hunger, homelessness and the environment of the Pacific Northwest. After completing liberal arts studies at The Evergreen State College, Corrie traveled to Israel and Palestine in January 2003. Corrie was a writer, a poet and an artist who cared deeply and wrote fervently about all humankind.
