I am humbled to say that, after being a guest artist for a number of years, I have now joined the Theater Faculty at the Chicago Academy for the Arts for the 2024-25 school year, teaching the Directing portion of the arts curriculum! I joined them at the end of last year and I am so excited to be teaching for a full academic year. These students are truly incredible young artists and humans.
On deck...
First and foremost, I am humbled to have been a part of the production team at the Mercury Theater Chicago for several productions, including ROCK OF AGES, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and JERSEY BOYS, all of which were nominated for multiple Jeff Awards. Fingers crossed for the night of September 30th!
I am stoked to be working with a certain high school theater program as the Fight Director for their fall Shakespeare production, but since the details aren't out, my lips are sealed!
Also, not only will I be teaching, but I am also heading back into the classroom to expand my knowledge on Intimacy Design and other tools to enhance myself as a multi hyphenate artist.
