This is my first year at Manchester High School and my 21st year as a high school theatre educator. I hold a master's degree from the Florida State University School of Theatre and have taught in an adjunct capacity at Brewtpn-Parker College in Georgia and worked as a Teaching Assistant at Florida State. I have directed approximately 50 shows and have acted in about half that many. I have attended EdTA Conferences in Atlanta, Denver, and New York. My students and I were regular attendees at Georgia Thespians Conference for 13 years at the beginning of the century. I hope to be able to bring this troupe to that conference, too.
