"All of these coaches know what it takes to make it to college, study the arts and make a career out of it; it's critical for a student actor to have people in their corner who can affirm their experiences, teach them the craft and encourage them along the way," said Leayne C. Dempsey, lead coach and CEO of Theatre Major. "That's why we're proud to have assembled such a talented and experienced team. We recognize that when coaches understand the journey and reflect the rich diversity of the students they serve, students, their college programs, and all of theatre benefit."
