91ÊÓƵ

It is my great honor to serve as Director of this vibrant, collaborative, and forward-thinking community. I have the privilege of working alongside an exceptional team of faculty and staff—artists, educators, and scholars dedicated to providing our students with a transformative education grounded in artistic excellence, professional rigor, and personal growth. 

At the School of Theatre & Dance, students develop the skills and experiences they need to thrive in the performing arts while growing into thoughtful, courageous, and compassionate individuals through close mentorship and creative exploration. Our alumni are proof of the strength of our programs—performing on Broadway, working in film and television, teaching across the country, and shaping Houston’s arts scene as actors, playwrights, choreographers, and cultural leaders. 

Located in one of the most diverse and artistically vibrant cities in the nation, we offer students a rich environment for learning and connection. The Houston Shakespeare Festival, produced by the 91ÊÓƵ, is a professional production where students train and perform alongside working artists, gaining invaluable hands-on experience. Combined with our partnerships across Houston’s thriving theatre and dance communities, this creates an unparalleled launchpad for a life in the arts. 

I invite you to  what makes the School of Theatre & Dance at the Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts such a dynamic and inspiring place to learn, grow, and create. We’d love to welcome you into our remarkable community.
