Collaboration.  Diversity.  Discipline.  Respect.  These are the bedrock of Tommy's classroom.    

​

Tommy's work centers on musical theatre, classical theatre, and the skills required to perform both.  As a teacher-in-training of the Alexander Technique, he incorporates the principles of Alexander into everything he teaches.  

​

Tommy's repertoire in teaching includes Musical Theatre Performance, Playing Shakespeare, Text Analysis, Acting, Movement (including Neutral Mask, Character Mask, and Clown), and Voice & Speech (including the International Phonetic Alphabet and Dialects).

 

As a teacher, Tommy is greatly influenced by those who taught him: Jack Plotnick, VP Boyle, Aaron Hagan, Dody DiSanto, Isabelle Anderson, Ellen O'Brien, Gary Logan, Brent Wagner, and Linda Goodrich.  Other influential teachers Tommy has studied with include Rob Clare, Ingrid Sonnichsen, Barbara Mackenzie-Wood, Natalie Shirer, and Brad Waller.  Tommy incorporates all of what he's learned from these remarkable teachers, and from his diverse career, resulting in a compassionate and nurturing guidance, and an understanding that everyone develops in their own time.
