The thing I enjoy most about teaching at Theatre Lab is being in a supportive community of talent at all levels. The respect and dedication to the actor’s craft demonstrated by all members of the Theatre Lab community, teachers, staff and students, makes it an inspiring place in which to be present. I have no doubt I have seen among my students the artists who are going to light the way for the next generation of DC talent and audiences.
