Current Projects: (last updated February, 22 2008) I am working on the Shakespeare Alive! tour at Maryland Shakespeare Festival. I get to play a number of different characters, including Romeo, Brutus, Lady Macbeth, Shylock, and the ever charming, Audrey! I'm working to set up a studio for students. As time permits, I'd like to start teaching private acting lessons. I'm now teaching three different classes at Stratford University. I'm really enjoying it. If you'd like more information on acting lessons--please email me at eve@evespeer.com |
