BIO

Executive Director of Drama Club Inc. Drama Club provides theater programming as a means of developing empathy, promoting academic growth and empowering the individual through self-expression.

Drama Club offers year round weekly theater classes at Crossroads Detention Center in Brownsville, Brooklyn, Horizon Detention Center in the South Bronx and the Robert N. Davoren Complex for adolescent boys and Rose M. Singer for young women, both on Rikers Island.

It is Drama Club’s mission to provide theater training and positive mentor relationships to NYC youth throughout each step of their journey through the criminal justice system: detention, placement and probation/aftercare. Providing a much-needed consistency for this population of chronically abandoned and underserved youth will give them positive life skills, academic support and courage to break the potentially life-long cycle of incarceration.
