Delaware Theatre Company
“It has been a pleasure to work with David. He is a theatre artist who understands and realizes the collaborative nature of theatre. He understands and uses sound pedagogical practices in his teaching. He has much experience working with adolescences and his treatment of them is firm but caring. If one approach isn’t working, he is always ready to return to the drawing board and develop a new plan. He makes good use of summative and formative evaluations in his teaching. He excels on his own in the classroom or as part of a team. He is a knowledgeable and dynamic teaching artist with every group he leads.”

“I am a great admirer of David’s prodigious talent and a longtime beneficiary of his considerable generosity. As a teacher, I cannot summon enough plaudits for his ability to work with students and bring out the best in them. In addition to his ability to work with students, to inspire their creativity and instill the discipline of a true artist, David is a man of integrity and kindness. Not only does he possess the discipline, expertise and conscientiousness to serve as an excellent teacher, but he is a wonderful colleague and a true gentleman. His many kindnesses to my students and to me are beyond a simple recommendation.”
