**This is for group acting classes- I also offer a one on one class, if you prefer. As a seasoned theater director, producer, and choreographer, I bring expertise to help you excel as an actor. Together, we'll dissect scenes and monologues—identifying beats, emphasizing crucial elements, and delving into character dynamics. The joy lies in exploring diverse personalities and roles, honing effective techniques. Ideal for refining skills in SAYSA. Our first class focuses on your preferences, working on a scene, possibly starting a monologue. In the second class, we delve into stereotypes—exploring the nuances of villains and heroes. The third class covers essential aspects like slating, self-presentation, cold readings, and integrates it all. We explore commercials, self-tapes, auditioning, and improv, starting from an authentic and organic foundation. Join me on this exciting journey of artistic exploration and growth.

For the past 20 years, I have been the producing artistic director of a youth theater company doing musicals with kids and teens. I do everything from picking the shows, auditions, directing, choreography, and even costumes! I also teach all kinds of arts classes, from kindergarten through adult. Not only do I love to sing and dance, I also love to read, travel, and I've been cooking up a storm. While I have been doing theater my whole life, I went to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NYC. During that time, I worked behind the scenes on BROADWAY at the Palace theater for Beauty and the Beast, and at the New Amsterdam Theater for King David, The Premier of Hercules, and Lion King. I have worked off- BROADWAY as well, as a director/ choreographer at the Times Square Experience Center, Dylan's, The Duplex, and The Player's Theater. I went on to earn my Bachelor's in English Literature, my Master's in Liberal Studies with a certificate in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and my Doctorate in Literary Studies with a Musical Theater Scholarly Dissertation. Teaching is so fun because I get to share skills with you, in a really fun way, and best part is, you are the star!!
