| Introduction | Thrilled to be back on the stage after almost 20 years! Recent performances: Merlin in Plays and Players' Camelot, Felix in The Odd Couple and Tito in Lend Me A Tenor with The Road Company, numerous roles in Represented Theatre’s Jeffrey, and Witch of Endor in King David with Mendelssohn Club. I am thoroughly enjoying being the Senior Marketing Specialist with The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. From 1999-2007, I was the Associate Managing Director for Public Engagement at Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts directing the Philadelphia International Children’s Festival for 3 of those years. I was Associate Managing Director for The Academy of Vocal Arts, directing the perennial holiday production of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, performing the Witch. I’ve also served as Director of Marketing and Communications for Institute of Contemporary Art, Grand Opera House, Philadelphia Singers and Philadelphia Drama Guild. As a professional opera singer, I performed with companies across the U. S., including Michigan Opera Theatre, Florida Grand Opera, Hidden Valley Opera and Chautauqua Opera. I have been an adjunct professor for 9 years with Drexel University. |
