About
40 years experience in theatre arts as a teacher, choreographer, designer, director, producer and performer. Specializing in musical theatre and vocal performance. Dozens of my students followed theatrical education and vocations including my own two kids, an actress in Chicago and the other a vocal performance major.
I have loved musical theatre since age nine and enjoy passing on my love of the art to all who are willing to explore it. I get a huge sense of accomplishment seeing students realize they can improve not only their performance abilities but their outlook on life in general.
