THEATRE AT STEINBRENNER
MEET THE TEACHER
Performing is my passion! Creating magic is my goal! Finding that spark that lies within every student is my job! Welcome to the Steinbrenner Theatre Family! I am your teacher, director, organizer, sound and light technician, musician, costumer, prop guy and builder! Ha, Ha, Ha! Who are we kidding? I don’t do all of that by myself…I have an incredibly, talented team! And I want YOU on my team. Performing and making the audience walk away with an incredible experience is the BEST feeling in the world!
Having been born and raised in Baton Rouge, La I'm a Tiger fan through and through! GEAUX TIGERS! In 1989 I moved to Clearwater and later graduated from Clearwater High School then from USF with a Theatre Education degree. Since college, I've owned my a youth theatre program, taught 5 years at a private school in Pasco, 12 years in Pinellas, was the District 4 Thespian Chairperson, District 5 Jr Thespian Chairperson, board member and webmaster for the Florida Association for Theatre Education, and I currently serve on the boards of the Florida Theatre Conference as well as a community theatre in Clearwater, West Coast Players.
​
What really keeps me moving (and on edge) is being a father to two boys (well, young men now)! They mean more to me than life itself. Despite my best efforts to get them in to theatre, they both played football, one in now playing college ball and the other just joined the Air Force in Security Forces. Luckily at 21 and 19 they already know everything there is to know about life so they don't need me for anything.
​
Here's to a great year!!
Respectfully,

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN OUR PROGRAM?
STUDENTS' DEDICATION
The student's here are very professional and take everything given to them seriously. No matter if they plan to pursue the arts or not, they are hardworkers and love to teach those that come after them. The great thing about these students is that I'm not the only teacher, they will come in and teach classes everything they know so the knowledge is spread and known to all.
CLASS CONTENT
Classes are rigorous to challenge you and keep you on your feet but are still filled with fun projects and games! The Tech classes build the sets for all of our shows, our mainstage musical casts come straight from our Musical Theatre classes and the Theatre classes help build skills such as public speaking, teamwork, and (obviously) acting amongst many others!
OUR PHILOSOPHY
In the Steinbrenner Drama Department, we strive to make high school an enjoyable experience for all that come through our doors. Whether it be teaching them new skills or making them fall in love with a new show or kind of performance, we welcome everyone with open arms.​
TROUPE 7485
The Steinbrenner Drama Department also has an honor society with a minimum of 100 hours to be accepted into it! The International Thespian Society strives to pump out the best actors, techs, singers, and dancers and keep them in shape for all years they are in high school.​
