I was awarded the position, and it became the most rewarding work I have done. I LOVE sharing the knowlege and experience I have gained.

First lesson half price, and is treated as getting to know you session. Students are invited to share their needs and details of their artistic journey up to the point of our first meeting. I look forward to designing future sessions around their needs and levels of experience.
Mostly high school and younger actors. These actors were mostly beginners and hobbyists. I have also coached adult actors of various levels.
The most important thing is to fine someone who makes you feel comfortable, is supportive, and looks out for the students' needs first. THe next thing I would look for is someone who has a variety of training techniques under the belt, and does not steer you into a one size fits all training program.
Homeschooling my daughter. Everyday I feel I am making a difference in our country's future.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are your goals, long and short term?
Why do you want coaching/lessons?
Ask what your coach specializes in, and see if this aligns with your personal goals.

Ginger and I are part of the same Chicago-based acting ensemble: The Moving Dock Theatre Company. It has been my delight to rehearse and perform with her, specifically in our 2016 show 'The Anton Chekhov Book Club Returns!' What is so striking in experiencing Ginger at work is the way she is never finished: there is always another nuance, one more layer of character to be discovered, revealing day by day more and more of what her imagination sees. If this speaks to you, trust her experience as a teacher to lead you through the same process. Highly recommended!
As a co-company member of The Moving Dock Theatre Company, I have worked with Ginger many times. She's a true professional - kind, caring, super talented and extremely creative. She's the real deal!
Ginger took my place as theatre and speech teacher at Pearl River Central High School , Carriere, MS, three years ago. As a teacher and director for our very competitive one-act play festivals, she brought our school to the state finals two years in a row. Her second year our high school won the state title with a play she had adapted herself from Chinese folklore.
She is driven, knowledgeable, and astonishingly creative. In every aspect of a play she directs or a class she teaches, there is the expectation and guidance to high standards.
Ginger also coached me in a pageant performance for a senior women's pageant, and helped me achieve a level of polish and professionalism that gave me the confidence to perform at the pageant.
I highly recommend Ginger aa theatre teacher, coach, or director.Thank you so much! I've been using the techniques you've taught me! I'm currently trying to get involved in film and apply for Juilliard!
You have impacted us all majorly, even maskers who've never been under your direction. We all miss you, love you, and thank you!
