I graduated from a 3 year professional theater program in the now renowned Dome Theater at Dawson College in Montreal. My class was the first to graduate, and we literally built the place as we studied. We built sets, painted the stage, ran the light and sound crews, stage-managed, directed and ran the front of house, as well as acted. I have acted in various shows since then, winning a comic actor of the year award in Scarsdale, NY, and playing 4 roles in an acclaimed production of Hamlet in Ojai, CA. In addition, as a teacher I have adapted scripts, cast and directed several very successful productions on the elementary and middle-school levels. This involved teaching students the basics of acting, voice projection, blocking, scene analysis, rehearsal and choral work.
