Schenectady Theater For Children-Artistic Director, Merdwin The Mediocre

I have enjoyed working with actors from ages 8 to 80. It has been my pleasure to have been the Artistic Director for the Schenectady Theater for Children since 2000. Originally, we were touring to area schools with a mostly adult cast, (sometimes including home-schooled children) bringing plays that fit within the NYS school curriculum. We had also toured to museums, libraries, and other social centers.

It has been my profound pleasure to see many of my students go on to become Sports Broadcasters, news reporters, professional entertainers, magicians, singers and actors.

I enjoy being able to help people achieve their goals! The creative collaboration with people also helps to expand me in my artistic efforts. To know that I have helped a student achieve confidence in obtaining their dreams, is a great personal satisfaction!
