 Brad
Baker was honored
as the United States Professor of
the Year (CASE/Carnegie Foundation, 2000). In 2001 he was honored as the
Theatre Educator of the Year in the State of Texas by the Texas
Educational Theatre Association. Prior to his appointment as Chair
of Theatre at Collin, Brad taught at such institutions as the University
of Maryland, Louisiana State University, Northern Kentucky University,
Chadron State College and Central Wyoming College. He serves on
the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Creative Work,
and he is an editorial consultant for the Internet Movie Database. Brad has directed or performed in more
than fifty professional productions across the country, including
national touring companies of ANNIE and CAROUSEL. He
served as an artistic associate for the Broadway company of Mbongeni
Ngema's Tony Award nominated musical play, SARAFINA! Brad's film
credits include roles in Broadcast News, Barry Levinson's Avalon,
Coal Miner's Daughter, and with Johnny Depp in John Waters' Cry-Baby.
The two credits he most wants to "hide" are his role as a psycho beach
murderer in the straight-to-video thriller By Love Possessed; and
as a Frog Guard in the forgettable action picture Hell Comes To
Frogtown. Brad is also an accomplished composer and
playwright; he is the co-composer, with Deborah Evans Peer, of the
country-western musical TOOTSIE'S ORCHID LOUNGE, and his dramatic
scripts include stage adaptations of Bram Stoker's DRACULA,
Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Alexandre Dumas'
THE THREE
MUSKETEERS, and Anthony Burgess'
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. Brad is represented by Terra Nova Entertainment, Inc.
