I am one of California's inaugural Leading Edge Certified Online Teachers and an adjunct theatre professor for Los Medanos College. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Drama from UC Irvine and Master of Arts in Theatre Directing from the Chicago College of Performing Arts, my penchant for technology and communication collided with the creation of ShakespeareCast.com in 2005. Before teaching, I worked as an actor, director, producer, and Arts Education Administrator for the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival. I am Founder and Artistic Director of Antioch Classical Theatre Company and a longtime member of Actors' Equity Association, Theatre Bay Area, and countless educator and technology groups. |
