Lady Scats (aka Rachel Macklin, or Rachel Malm, for those that knew her then) is a director, actor, writer, makeup designer, jazz singer, and swing dancer.  She grew up in a tiny town just outside of Seattle, then moved to New York City fresh out of high school to study at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.  She received her BFA in December of 2001. In New York, she stumbled upon the swing scene, and it has held her fast ever since.  She has sat in as a singer with NYC bands The Yallopin' Hounds,  The Blue Saracens, and Hi-Fi Honey.  She recently started a theatre company, Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, of which she is the artistic director.  OTE's inaugural production will be Antony & Cleopatra, performing at the Brooklyn Lyceum fall of 2002.
