Our Staff

Piven Theatre Workshop is a renowned theatre company, known for producing work that celebrates the ensemble. We are collaborators and arts educators who are committed to uplifting emerging artists. Our nationally acclaimed actor training center for children and adults consists of a variety of class and workshop offerings that help students develop artistically as well as professionally. Our arts education centers collaboration and therefore provides the best opportunity for students to hone their acting skills in tandem with effective communication skills.

At Piven Theatre Workshop, we have a small, tight knit administrative team that is primarily composed of individuals who grew up in our programs and who are artists in their own right. Our administrative staff is passionate about arts education and is the backbone of our programing. We welcome you to get to know our staff and contact us with any questions you have about our programs. At Piven we believe that mentorship and professional development are key aspects of our training program. We prioritize a well-rounded arts education that provides students with key skills for the workplace, including communication, empathy, and problem solving.
