Welcome to the Houston Academy of Dramatic Arts. It has been a life long dream to bring an acting conservatory to Houston. My goal is to give you the tools to becoming a more accomplished performing artist that will make a difference to your career, and to the way you live. You will work with some of the best, busiest and most interesting professionals in the entertainment industry.

I believe that actors who have an intellectual and visceral grasp of dramatic literature, who recognize a relationship between new and classical work, are uniquely prepared to collaborate in the development of new dramatic forms.

Whatever your experience, you will leave the Academy with a solid beginning to your lifetime training as a professional actor.
