PEDAGOGICAL MISSION STATEMENT: To impart the studying and
learning of theatre (its aesthetic, craft, history and theory),
to a diverse community of learners and utilize its methods to
serve as a lens of empowerment from self-imposed limitations,

revel in their own “innate artistry” and contribute positively to
the global society in which they live.

practices, the relationships I foster (with
administrators, board members, educators, funders,
parents and students on behalf of these
organizations) and the thematic contents of the
