Introducing The Studio...

With twenty years of experience as a working actor and ten years teaching theatre, I wanted to cultivate a safe space where actors of all ages and stages could grow and take artistic risks. In The Studio, you will be encouraged and challenged to dig deep, search the text, and make bold choices to create a truthful character.

​

Whatever your acting goals may be, I want to help you realize them. Fill out the form at the bottom to get started with a complimentary telephone consultation.
