Youth Theatre Educator Archives

This time in my life of teaching theatre to youth performers was a very special time, incredibly rewarding and a fantastic learning experience. It was also the foundation for which my creative partner and I, Ariel Dooley, began implementing the early versions of my empowerment methods and curriculums.

It was an honor and privilege to work alongside the multitude of families and dedicated students for which none of this would have been at all possible. I am so grateful to be able to present these archives as a small slice of what we all collectively created.
