Biography

Rae Farrer was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario. Her mother, a painter and seamstress, indulged Rae's creative pursuits from piano and jazz lessons to her self-choreographed dance recitals. As an adult, Rae crossed the border to Detroit to take in all the live music, theatre, and improv shows the city had to offer. After graduating from the University of Windsor with a BSc in Biological Sciences, a BA in English Literature, and a healthy obsession with Shakespeare and the arts, Rae moved to Calgary and started training at the Company of Rogues Actors' Studio where she met members of the creative community she admires and works with to this day. Since completing the Master Class Program at this New York style studio, she's performed in plays for Rogues Theatre and Workshop Theatre, and continues to work in TV and film--her favourite art form.

While acting remains her number one love, Rae continues to grow creatively with screenwriting and improvisation. In 2018 she wrote, starred in, and directed her first short screenplay, The Winds, for which she received a Best Actress nomination in the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers' Stinger Awards. The film was featured at Toronto's Female Eye Film Festival in 2019.
