Founding Artistic Director - Govenor's School for the Arts (1987-1992)
The State of Tennessee commissioned the Governor's School for the Arts. The School is based at Middle Tennessee State University located near Nashville.
The Theatre Program is made up of 18-25 gifted high-school Juniors and Seniors who have been selected from across the state to partcipate in an intense series of summer workshops culminating in a public performance at the end of the summer term.

As Artistic Director I was charged with creating a curriculum, teaching, and selecting theatre artists who would participate in acting, movement, voice, and technical instruction.
