With experience that varies from tiny private school to ginormous public school, there are few situations that haven't been encountered. I've got over 150 productions under my belt including straight plays, musicals, short plays, Shakespeare, improv and devised theatre. I figure I've taught around 3000 students and worked under a wide variety of administrators and different performance spaces. I introduced the Technical Theatre curriculum into our school system, and remain on the Governing Board of The Cappies, directing their awards gala at the John F Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. annually.
Working with teenagers is tricky business, and very rewarding, but filled with coping with their teen angst, dealing with their parents, satisfying administrators, and handling all the other stakeholders can be downright exhausting. But on good days, we get applause for our work. Lucky us!
I've been told I'm equally left and right brained, so I'm good at seeing both the details and the big picture. I get great pleasure from seeing others succeed through my guidance or efforts, and wanting to keep my years of experience relevant, I co-authored Real-World Theatre Education with Zoe Dillard, and am proud that it's currently used in Theatre Education programs at universities across the country. Said one theatre supervisor, "Invaluable! Every theatre teacher, whether new or seasoned, should be furnished with this jam-packed compendium of the very best suggestions, solutions and warnings for navigating life in the theatre classroom."
And now, since retiring from full time teaching and directing, I look forward to opportunties to assist my theatre colleagues however I can. I now have time you don't, that can be put toward planning and helping, instead of just putting out brush fires as you do. On the other hand, I understand your tight schedule, and that flexibility is an important ingredient for us to work together successfully.
As to cost, our work together is professional development that may be funded by your Boosters, school or drama department funds instead of your own pocket. In any case, we'll keep it reasonable.
