Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I have them fill out my Student History Form prior to a free 20-minute orientation appointment. Get them to tell me what they like about their favorite actor or stand-up comic. Congratulate them on what they've already figured out on their own. Give them two or three examples of good acting techniques on video. Ask them if they have any questions. Register them via web form, and schedule their first appointment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BA & MFA in Creative Writing at SF State U, minor: undergradute radio-tv-film and theatre directing
MFA in Playwiting at Carnegie-Mellon University; then, took the Ph. D. studies in residence - - Dramatic Literature, Theory, Criticism and Theater History.
Passing the 5-day Ph. D. comprehensive written and oral exams "with flying colors" qualified me as expert.
After all that, I took Computer and Information Sciences, 43 units Santa Rosa Junior College, Santa Rosa, CA and
Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA.
