MTWcreated a studio to teach the musical theatre arts to performers. The programthat began in the summer of 1989 quickly came to the attention of NYU. Theyinvited MTW to become one of their Studios. At its peak, the MTW Studio wastraining 100 NYU students per semester three days per week. In 1994 they tookthe program in-house and renamed it Collaborative Arts Project 21. While at MTW,I supervised planning the curriculum, hiring the teachers, and theadministrative staff of the program.
Wroteand Directed an original musical with students from the Edwin Gould Academy.
TheEdwin Gould Academy is a residential high school program for at-risk inner citystudents. They have for various reasons been court ordered out of their homes. Iapproached the school with the idea to work with the students to tell theirstories in an original musical much as A Chorus Line was created. The result wasextraordinary for the students and audience alike.
Throughoutmy career as a director I was often called on to teach. Usually this took theform of directing in an academic situation and teaching Master Classes.
