Classically trained at the Guthrie Theater BFA Program and the Brown/Trinity MFA Program, I’m an actor living in downtown Brooklyn. Favorite roles include Hamlet at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, Dr. Manette in Brendan Pelsue’s world-premiere adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities at the Alliance Theatre, Prior Walter in both parts of Angels in America at Actors Express (Suzi Bass Award), and Oscar Wilde in Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde for Seattle’s The Feast theatre, of which I’m a founding company member.
As a teacher, I specialize in voice, speech, and classical text, and currently serve on faculty at NYU Tisch’s Atlantic Acting School. I've also taught for Brown/Trinity MFA Programs, NYU's Experimental Theatre Wing, Barnard College, and Molloy University/CAP21.
Passions outside acting include poetry and literature (fav writers include Anne Carson, Ocean Vuong, Gjertrud Schnackenberg, Gerard Manley Hopkins, James Baldwin), queer culture and history, meditation and the contemplative arts (you can regularly find me at Fire Lotus Temple/Zen Center of New York City), and the ragged, romantic coasts of the Outer Cape.
