I have been involved at CCT in multiple capacities over the last 12 years — I have directed, stage managed, choreographed, costume designed, acted, served as Education Director, and now as Associate Artistic Director. I have had the pleasure of traveling around the country as a teacher and performer. Before settling in Columbus full time, I was in the original national tour and Off-Broadway casts of Berenstain Bears Live in Family Matters the Musical. As an educator I primarily teach middle and high school students and challenge them to find their own voices as artists. Additionally I teach voice, movement workshops, and am a former speech and debate coach.

Columbus Children’s Theatre has been operating in central Ohio for 53 years. Its programs include a professional theatre series for families, and Academy for children age 2 – 18, and a touring company which performs in more than 170 schools each year. Alumni from CCT programs include Josh Radnor, Jessica Grové, Mike Faist, Steven Boyer, and many others. CCT’s mission is to inspire, enrich and empower the imaginations of children and their families through live theatre and theatre education.
