With over twenty years of working experience in professional theatre, Mandy is a great teacher for young people who are serious about a career in the performing arts. Mandy emphasizes a healthy, fun, realistic approach to training for young actors. Mandy believes that the best actors start with well-rounded education in many subjects. She teaches her students to incorporate knowledge of psychology, math, science, and many other subjects into their work on stage. Her stage techniques always  stress the importance of posture, body control, breath control, and diction.  She offers training in character development, basic ‘method’ acting, improvisation, and-most importantly-comedy. For older students who have decided to pursue acting as a profession, Mandy has also developed a “boot camp” program that includes audition practice.
