Introduction: My goal is for each student/actor to have a personal connection to the text, communicating with clarity and understanding. My 30 years experience allows me to access many and various methods to help the student master the text. I love those moments when "the light bulb goes off" and you see the look of awakening on the students face. You see it in their faces and hear it in their voices, a great wave of confidence and joy takes over.

Working with Mary is always a positive experience for me. I've been acting for many years but I learned so much from Mary about how to develop my character and how to make the audience see and feel what I'm trying to say, not only with my words, but with my actions. This has helped me allot in several roles I've had since working with her. Thanks Mary!! You've made me a better and more confident actor!

I had the opportunity to work with Mary on an audition. She is so wonderful. She noticed I had some nerves and went through a series of techniques that were truly beneficial. I can't wait to work with her again!

Mary is the consummate theater professional. I have worked with her on many productions, working with adults and with children. Her inclusive manner and thorough understanding of stagecraft is like magic as she works with any cast. She guides the cast to make the lines get up and walk! And the actors love it.

I worked one on one with Mary on a classical and a contemporary piece and was absolutely thrilled with the coaching. I was on a tight schedule and despite the constraint her approach was still so thorough. I walked away from each session with more command of and more life in all my choices. She is a fantastic coach and teacher.

Mary has worked with my daughter through Inside Shakespeare and also as a director in a YAE production. She is engaging, professional, fun and a wonderful teacher. I had the pleasure of working with her myself one day when helping set up the backdrop for a set. She was a pleasure to work with in every single way. Her attention to details and devotion to promoting the joy of theater is outstanding.

I offer a FREE initial meeting to discuss the student's goal and current skills. It is important that a student feels confident that our styles will complement each other. Following the meeting, we devise a plan and schedule to help the student reach their goals.
