Bystander: A Portrait in [...]

Finally the trial has begun for this tragedy that occurred last year at my alma mater Rutgers University. Thinking about the whole situation makes me really sick and I wanted to express some of my thoughts on this case. I feel especially close to this case as Dharun graduated from the same school system I [...]

I had the exciting opportunity to work with the Kidsbridge group from Timberlane Middle School last month. This group has the role of building bridges between students as they promote good character. They were a wonderful group to work with and they absolutely rose to the occasion for their performances. They even had the opportunity [...]

I love returning to the Souderton Area School District and working with the kids from Valley was exactly the wonderful experience I thought it would be.

It was a first for me – training two separate casts within the same rehearsal time and space. Although a little chaotic and very focused, we were able to come up with performances that were [...]
