Stacey Cabaj is a Canadian American actress and an Associate Professor of Performance and Pedagogy. At LMU, she has served as a Faculty Fellow of Mission and Identity, Chair of Theatre Arts, and the Director of the MFA Performance Pedagogy Program. Prior to her tenure at LMU, she was on the graduate faculties of Louisiana State University and the University of Pittsburgh.

Her discoveries in theatre classrooms and rehearsal halls inspired her first book, co-authored with Andrea Odinov, Lessons from our Students: Meditations on Performance Pedagogy (Routledge).

As a performer, Stacey has sung, danced, and pranced all over the world. These days, you can hear her leading guiding meditations on the Breezy App, making plays and walking her dogs in Los Angeles. Stacey is an American Fellow in the AAUW, and a proud member of AEA, ATHE, and VASTA.

(Known to her students as Professor Cabbage, Stacey's last name actually rhymes with Rabbi.)
