I'm working with a few other wonderful teaching artists in a pilot program 52nd St Project has with their neighbor PS111. We're meeting with some of their 5th graders on Thursdays through March--and over the next few weeks, they will write monologues that will be performed by professional actors! I've been working with 52nd St Project for almost a decade, and being brought into this particular program has been a  perfect return to teaching in person again.

In March, I'll be teaching Screenwriting to Epic Theatre Ensemble Students. I've been a teaching artist with Epic for almost a decade, and have done everything from stage the violence in shows and teach stage combat, taught Antigone in classrooms, been an acting mentor, and performed in shows to name a few. But to be able to teach them what I've been focused on the last few years is super dreamy! More info on this down the line. Click the image above to learn more about Epic.

We love this project, and look forward to you seeing it on your TVs one day!
