Teaching

Justin is now offering master classes, personal coaching and group workshops in musical theatre audition technique, cold readings and yoga for the creative artist. These offerings are geared toward actors interested in auditioning for productions, scholarship competitions, professional training and college theatre programs but can also be extremely beneficial for the professional actor looking to brush up their material. They can be tailored and adjusted to fit the specific needs and abilities of the individual or group. There’s also the option of scheduling a one on one video coaching session!

With over 18 years as a professional actor working on Broadway, National Tours as well as regional and summer stock, Justin brings a wealth of experiential and practical knowledge to the table. Plus his conservatory training at one of the nation’s most respected programs for Acting and Musical Theatre gives him a great perspective to share with young performers looking to take their abilities to the next level. Creating a positive, supportive atmosphere where students can feel comfortable to experiment is key to growth and progress. With a yoga perspective to help students mindfully connect to their inner creativity, Justin brings a unique approach to theatre instruction.
