Lynn Baber

Lynn Baber has been working on-camera since the 80s, specializing in comedy, looking the way she does, and a really finely tuned deadpan. Recent commercials include working with NBA star Steph Curry (made him laugh) and a former student, which isn’t all that unusual because she spent 19 summers as the Theatre Arts Division Director for Northwestern University’s National High School Institute (the “Cherub” program); and many years teaching for that program. When she’s not booking film, tv or commercial work, she is consulting/coaching actors for auditions; and high school students for college admission, with specialization in headshots, resumes and monologues (both selection and coaching). She is also a freelance casting director for Chicago theatre. Loves working with everyone at Piven.
