Brooke Schilling
- Standardized
Born and raised in New York City, Brooke Shilling is a theatre artist that wears many hats. She has worked with groups such as One Year Lease Theater Company, Theater Unspeakable, inFLUX Theater Collective, Theater Ariel, and more. Brooke's solo show Ladies of the Land has been presented at The Drama League, Dixon Place, and the Shoe Box Short Theatre Festival. Other original works include Threnody, Sinky The Pirate and Pirate Queens, which was a 2024 Week Two Philly Fringies Frontrunner at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival.
As a playwright, Brooke is a member of the 2024-2025 PlayPenn Playwright's Cohort and was a 2024 Terrance McNally Award Semifinalist. Brooke is a three-time Illuminate the Arts Individual Artist Grant recipient, awarded by the City of Philadelphia Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy. She holds a BFA in Acting from Ithaca College and an MFA in Devised Performance from The University of the Arts/Pig Iron School.
WHILE IN RESIDENCY AT MAAS, Brooke will be exploring her new work Standardized, an original play about a standardized patient (someone who is hired and trained to portray a real patient for teaching medical students) who learns that they are actually ill through an encounter with a student doctor. With the help of skilled camera people, Brooke hopes to play with the convention of live video to enhance the idea of voyeurism in this field. She also hopes to explore scale and images of the human body, which are exposed for the purposes of student learning and perhaps draw connections to the challenges of our healthcare system in the United States.
