Acting, Direction<\/strong><\/p>\n

I graduated from Aquinas College with a B.A. in theatre with an emphasis on directing. I have acted in several shows, the most recent being Lt. Stokes in “American Son” for BAM Talent. I have directed many plays and musicals, the most recent being “Spamalot” for Circle Theatre’s 2024 season. I most recently taught as an Adjunct Professor for GRCC, but before that, I taught core acting for the stage at Rockford School’s VSYT program. This is my semester teaching with Civic. I look forward to teaching and working with all the wonderful kids who love theatre as much as I do.<\/em><\/p>\n
