Join a Monday Class
I have ONE in person group technique session available. 18+ only on Monday starting at 11am. It’s still very small, we work on Meisner Technique and then we work on practical application.Â

I grew up in a small town in Texas, and knew at 12 years old that I wanted to be a performer. Bless my momma’s heart, may she rest in peace, she didn’t know how to guide me to the professional world, but she did the best she could. I had all the training our money could buy. I went to school for Dance, Singing, Acting, and I even earned a degree in Dance all before I moved to New York City bright eyed and positive NYC had been waiting for my arrival!
Then rent was due. Class was expensive. How do I get auditions? OH GOD, that dingy apartment can’t be where this audition is. Also, why can’t I even get seen? Where is my footage indy/student filmmaker? Or even EWW…I can’t use that on my demo! UGH! That was 10 years of my career. Feeling like I was in this whirlwind trying to get my footing in a business that is so very slippery.Â

It wasn’t until I was encouraged to take control of my career did my life actually turn around. I produced my first short film, Mimi’s Misadventure, using money my mother had left me, and suddenly I picked up some momentum…I was auditioning! I produced more short films, and even a little web series, and boom big features started booking. All within 3 years I was acting with John Travolta, Brendan Frasier, Ron Perlman, & David Gyasi. I was on Netflix, Hulu & Amazon and I even earned a Emmy Nomination! My career has been quite a journey, and it’s not over yet!Â
Â
I’m eager to share my knowledge of the industry with my students at The Desert Playhouse, because this business isn’t only about being the most talented, or the most good looking, or who is even right for the part…it’s a business. And the earlier you can learn to play the game, the faster your track to success will be!Â
