About me
Ruthie Pincus is the Executive Director of Stage the Change: Theatre as a Social Voice and an award-winning high school theatre educator. Before teaching, she was a professional actress and director, earning degrees from Michigan State University and Stony Brook University. For over 25 years, she has empowered students to address critical issues—human rights, diversity, equality, and mental health—through original theatre. More than a decade ago, she founded Stage the Change to expand her impact beyond her own school, helping fellow educators equip students with “theatre voices” for social change. Ruthie’s work has been featured in EDTA’s Teaching Theatre and Harvard Usable Knowledge. She has received the Rod Marriott Award from the New York State Theatre Educator Association and an Honorable Mention for Excellence in Theatre Education from the 2024 TONY Awards.
