I'm a theatre professional. My own plays have received readings and productions in the Philadelphia region. I have worked as a dramaturg in the Philadelphia theatre community. I also have experience as a director of children's theatre. I have studied and taught theatre both in K-12th and at the university level including courses in playwrighting, theatre history, and theatre survey courses. I've run two-year residencies with the NJ Council of the Arts in Theatre Education, where students wrote and performed their own plays. I've coached students in theatrical presentation and acting. I can easily provide tutoring, coaching, and creative writing training in theatre.
