My career as an educator is easiest to describe in two phases: my years in New York City and those in Wisconsin.

New York City Teaching

Picture
Almost as soon as I began my professional acting career, I discovered my passion for teaching.  Aresa of specialty include: acting, directing, stage combat, movement, mask work, period movement, comedy, public speaking, Shakespeare, Chekhov, Moliere and professional theatre development. 

 I spent 17 years in New York City teaching privately and at many great NYC institutions, including Juilliard, Brooklyn College and Marymount Manhattan.  (See my 
New York City Teaching page for more.)

Other schools and programs where I have taught outside of the Big Apple have included:
  • Binghamton University (MFA)
  • Virginia Commonwealth University (MFA)
  • University of South Caroline (MFA)
  • National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts, DC
  • University of Wisconsin-Parkside
  • University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

I have also taught numerous workshops & lectures across the nation for high schools, drama programs, seniors groups, colleges, professional theaters as well as regional and national festivals.

Wisconsin Teaching

In 2003, I moved from NYC to the Midwest to head the acting program at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Ten years later, I became the Head of Acting at Marquette University.  My success as a teacher is measured by my students' successes; they have had great success finding work in the field after graduation.  (See my Wisconsin Teaching page for more.)
