A brief introduction
This is my professional page at Stetson University, where I am
Professor of Theatre Arts. To prepare for teaching theatre, I earned the
following degrees:
- BA in Performance: Theatre, Univ. of Alabama at Birmingham, 1982.
- MFA in Theater: Acting/Directing, So. Illinois Univ. at Carbondale,
1984.
- PhD in Theatre, Bowling Green State Univ., Bowling Green, OH, 1994.
I have been teaching at Stetson since 1994, and am also a member of the
interdisciplinary Latin American Studies faculty.
Courses I teach
I regularly teach the performance courses at Stetson,
including
Principles of Acting, Principles of Directing, Voice and Diction,
Advanced Directing, Acting: Mask and Movement, Acting Comedy, Acting
Period Style, and Acting for the Camera. I occasionally teach Arts
Management, Theatre History, and Junior Seminars such as "Sticking it
to the Man: Theater of Protest." Occasionally, I take students on
theate trips, including this one to Miami and Mexico, sponsored through
the LAS Hollis Mentored Field Experience: An
International Theatre Travelogue
Professional activities
Primarily, I direct live theatre productions off
campus during the summer, but I also manage to squeeze in a few acting
roles for theatre, film, and television. One of my favorite places to
work is the Huron Playhouse, the longest running summer theatre in Ohio.
