David Wilson:
David Wilson (He/Him/His) is an NYC based actor. He has received a BA in Theatre
Performance from Fordham University and is a 2024 MFA candidate in the NYU Grad Acting
Program. David has 10+ years experience in performing and is passionate about instilling a
sense of play and individuality in the next generation of theatre-artists. Whether it is
scene-study, character study, monologue audition prep, or a beginner’s curiosity towards acting,
David is interested in cultivating that individual’s curiosity and process rather than trying to
simply “teach” acting. He hopes that one walks away from his class with a deepened sense of
curiosity, authenticity, confidence, and play!
