WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES
What kind of coaching does your group need? Do you need a workshop for your commercial, film or theatre auditions?
Do you desire to grow confidence in stage or camera presence?
Would you like an improvisation session for fun and team-building at work? I can create workshops for groups of all ages (private groups, camps, schools, churches, etc).
With over thirty years experience in theatre and filmmaking, I love working with talent of all stages in their creative journey.

I'd love to add some life to your small group, workshop, or an auditorium of students, with some creativity, constructive feedback, and all around fun! I currently perform in improvisation sketches and teach students of all ages.
I've worked with the Black Eyed Peas and Adobe Youth Voices media academy called, “The Peapod Foundation,” helping youth to create social change through the arts. And I’ve been on the outreach staff of Broadway By the Bay, helping to bring the performing arts and improvisation to kids and schools who wouldn’t normally have the opportunity.
