CURRENT MISSION

To establish a Shakespeare Festival in the Skagit Valley

ABOUT ME

I am an educator who believes in hands-on interactive teaching, letting students play the games, try on the clothing, dance the dances and do the work (like wool-spinning) and other crafts from the periods of history they are studying. I am a musician, an actor, playwright, performer and can also drive a 40' bus:-)

PHILOSOPHY

Short Form: Teamwork is the best work.

Long Form: To see if - by walking in the steps of the remarkable people of the past - we can duplicate their thought process and continue their work and contributions.
