Teaching Philosophy
“The beauty of theater to me is that no matter what age, background, or passions we have, we always have something simple or profound to learn from each other; something valuable to give. I believe that the vocabulary and tools we build together may last a long time indeed, but the imagination, compassion and confidence we develop will last a life-time”
