Parental Guidance
Be advised that plays have a wide variety of material that is potentially mature and offensive. That said, I will do my best to discern and choose family friendly and non controversial pieces to work with. If a sensitive issue ever arises with a monologue assignment, please contact me and I will be happy to change the assignment.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from University of Florida
I’ve been a professional actor for the past 15 years and have my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theatre from the University of Florida. Although my expertise is in all three areas of acting, singing and dancing, I believe that acting should be the most important focus of theatre training, as great storytelling is the ultimate goal of all three.
