I am a teacher, director, actress and writer for the theatre.  I have directed shows at the elementary, junior high, senior high and college levels including "Dead Man Walking,"  Elektra," "The Wiz",' and "A Midsummer Night's Dream."   I currently teach acting at The Public Theatre Summer Teen Workshop  and Oral History Theatre at the Senior College, UMA.   Since returning to Maine, I have also acted as Judge for the Maine One Act Play Competition, and had a cameo appearance in the film 'Beneath the Harvest Sky."  In 2009, I was a one of 14 acting teachers selected to participate in a two-week intensive training with Master Acting Teachers Ron Van Lieu and Christopher Bayes from the Yale School of Drama, and Slava Dalgachev, Artistic Director of the New Moscow Art theatre.

 

While in Texas, I directed the San Antonio premiere of "Dead Man Walking," as well as teaching Adult Acting Classes at The Dallas Theater Center.  I taught at Ursuline Academy of Dallas, Lon Morris College and Providence Preparatory School. I am currently the Drama Coach at Cony High School, Augusta, Maine.


I am available for workshops, consultations, teaching, acting, and directing.  I am a member of Actors Equity Association,  SAG-AFTRA (screen and television ) and Craftsmen of Dionysus, unions.
