A big week for the arts, TheatrePeople! This week I’m so excited to introduce you to a rock star in the world of theatrical production, as well as drama education and inspiration—J. Jason Daunter! At his roots a thespian, Jason has worked on some big Broadway shows over the past 15 years, and often mingles with the stars. His Projects with Jason is a great success, and he seeks to remind people that ‘they are part of something larger.’
Hello TheatrePeople! This week I’m so happy to introduce you to a ‘jack of all trades’ in the world of theatrical performance, Suzanne Maguire. Suzanne is an actor, director, acting coach, and educator, and is also on the Washington State Board of Thespians. She teaches theatre across the nation, working with actors of all ‘ages and stages,’ as she puts it.
Hello TheatrePeople! Another week, another fantastic individual from the world of theatre. I am so pleased to introduce you to Jonathan Dorf. Jonathan is a remarkable writer with a sharp wit. He has ‘penned’ an impressive catalog of plays, and dedicates much of his time to supporting other writers and teaching his craft internationally.
Welcome back to TheatrePeople for another week! I am so happy to introduce you to theatre teacher Kristina Cummins. Kristina and I first met and began talking at national EdTA conferences, where it became evident right away that she lives and breathes theatre education. You would be hard pressed to find a kinder, more passionate theatre teacher. I loved her interview, and hope you enjoy her drama stories as much as I did!
Hello again, TheatrePeople! It’s another week and I’m eager to introduce you to an incredible person in the world of drama education, Pat Santanello. Pat has been directing high school theatre in Ohio for over 26 years and has been a generous coach, award winner and leader in the Educational Theatre Association. I hope you […]
This week on TheatrePeople, please meet Abby McCuen. Abby is a ballet producer, grant writer, educator and an incredibly kind and creative theatrical mind. She leads with conviction and heart, and has curated a family of artists at the Savannah Ballet who are committed to each other, the stories they tell, and the audiences they inspire. In this time of great uncertainty for the arts, there is no one in the world of theatre I’m prouder to introduce you to.
I have been a dance educator for over twenty years and have seen the times a changing and life ebb and flow. Each generation has their own views on the next and there are always areas to be appreciated and others to be maligned. Such is life. I will say that I am so glad that I grew up when I did and I would never want to be a teenager in today’s current world.
