About Annie Kozuch

For the multi-talented Annie Kozuch, music, theater and performance called to her from an early age and no other option was ever seriously considered.Born in New Jersey, Annie grew up in Mexico City, speaking both English and Spanish. Music was always a major part of the home atmosphere; especially Broadway musicals. Already participating in school plays and community theater, Annie was cast in Frankenstein's Great Aunt Tillie (1984) and had the powerful experience of being cast in Oscar-winning director's John Schlesinger highly acclaimed The Falcon and The Snowman (1985) during her senior year in high school.Graduating from Mills College in 1988 with degrees in Dramatic Arts and Psychology, she spent her junior year in London, studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
