Lack of preparation, organization and training
can be detrimental to your theatrical process.
Not only do I train and guide you: as a fellow performer, I understand you!
After 30+ years, I am still joyfully training new, evolving and returning artists into:
​
-Productions, roles and projects
​
​
-College Performing Arts Programs of their choice (NYU, Syracuse, UCLA, USC, Ithaca,
Miami, Michigan, Emerson, Northwestern, Pace - and the list extends)
​
​
-Broadway, Off-Broadway and Cabaret productions (PIPPIN, HAMILTON, MAMMA MIA, LOVE ME: LOVE ME NOT)
​
-Tours and touring companies
My experience as a director / musical director will benefit you further, as I can see, hear and develop nuance in your storytelling and performance techniques.
(And, I'm your own personal accompanist...!)
​
​
Let's make the craft of storytelling
- whether sung or spoken -
uniquely, productively and truthfully, YOU!
​
​
​
Instructors who say, "great job," without offering feedback or direction, and directors who suggest you should simply, "pretend like," "smile!" and "have more energy!" are not preparing you for the realities of working and playing in theatre.
I can!
I'm honest, I'm thorough and I truly care about your growth and success.
​
Okay! Okay! I will!
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3! (... 4, 5)
1. You'll share your needs and goals.
2. I'll share my approach to educating and supporting you.
3. We'll align...
4. Then, schedule your discounted intro session...
(You'll love it!)
5. And, we'll begin your theatrical evolution together!
