Mary T. Albright, MFA
Instructor of Theatre Arts
I embrace the hands-on method of teaching. I find that most of us retain more when we actually experience it, even if only in a lab setting. I enjoy using project work, presentations and discussions to support the lessons. (Acting is doing after all.)
