Teaching         Artist

Teaching Artist:

I have been consistently impressed with Andrew's dedication to his students, his eagerness to learn and explore new lesson plans, and almost boundless positive energy and communication skills. Andrew has a strong, positive personality, and also the capacity to be deeply earnest, taking the work very seriously and always having something meaningful to contribute.
- David Hansen, Education Outreach Associate
with Great Lakes Theater Festival
Andrew is a masterful teacher and mentor, drawing shy kids out of their shell and giving energetic children a new sense of focus. He is especially good at making each child feel important and drawing their personalities out. I have observed Andrew teach on many occasions and have always been impressed with his preparation and the kind way that he interacts with young people.
- Allison Latta-Lashford, Associate Artistic Director
