Bio

Worked towards an MFA in Musical Theater from United States International University.
Number of years teaching

Favorite Playwright

Favorite theatrical moment
From Pretty Women to the end act one of Sweeney Todd. While not a moment by definition, it is a grand roller coaster ride of tension and emotion. Stephen Sondheim at his best!
Sondheim or Rodgers and Hammerstein?
Sondheim
Interests
Aside from theater and the performing arts, I have an intense passion for the popular culture of comic books. I have an extensive collection of comics, collectibles, autographs, posters and original art. I enjoy painting and sculpting when time allows. I occasionally enjoy video games when there is time enough to lavish on such a passtime.
Something you should know about me!
I am working toward National Board Certification for theater via their CTE Arts and Communication strand.
