Shakespearean Acting Lessons in Minneapolis. Amazing Teachers.

I'm a teacher, director and all-around guide for actors who want to go out and audition for roles. I provide guidance to seasoned actors by helping them fine-tune both their audition technique and the monologues they choose perform.

Working with me, gives you the experience of both an actor and a director. I see from inside your character and from your audience. I have worked with actors from first-time neophytes to professionals and styles from method to experimental styles of the 60s to improv and back to Shakespeare. I taught theatre in High School and College as well as community classes for children. I have acted and directed for many years.

I was a Drama major at Trinity University for 21/2 years. I have coached students in Shakespearean acting for several years.
