Teaching: Improv, Shakespeare, Music, and more! (teaching resume below)
Currently, Paige is the Director of Children's Theatre and Education at The Good Studio. Youth class sessions are in 5-week blocks, with classes every Saturday from noon to two p. m. Summer camps have just concluded, and we're looking forward to autumn.
.
Paige enjoys teaching theatre camps and classes to children, teens, and adults. Whether she's teaching improv games or basic stagecraft, she believes that learning theatre techniques will also help people in life: with communication, empathy, awareness, team-work, and problem-solving.
.
She also teaches voice lessons, beginner piano, and has taught recorder and penny whistle to actors for various shows. Contact her for music lesson pricing and availability.
