The Power of Memory to Triumph Over Death
August 11, 2014
I have loved Sarah Ruhl’s play Eurydice ever since I read it in under-grad. It has been a dream of mine to direct it, but since I am a High School Theatre teacher and the cast size is 7, it has always just sat on my shelf waiting. Whenever any student asks about plays to … More The Power of Memory to Triumph Over Death
Doing your Homework before the show begins
August 4, 2014
I’m putting together the audition packet for the fall show and wondering how I can get across the importance of reading the books before we start. I always encourage that students read the play before auditions, but in this case if you don’t read the books you will be left in the dust. For our … More Doing your Homework before the show begins

Romeo and Juliet Review
April 29, 2014
Homestead High School has staged a delightful, “no-time, no-place” production of Romeo and Juliet, reminding us that though Shakespeare may seem a thing of the past its lessons about loyalty, family, violence, youth, and love still ring true.
