When I first got into acting was the first time I also became interested in teaching and directing. I have been coaching improvisation and theater since I was in high school myself (my senior year my drama teacher gave me one day to teach all his classes). I help students find their voice to make authentic choices in both scripted material or improvisation. Lessons are fun, engaging, and work to help students remember the sense of play that imbues scenes with realistic and grounded work that yields fun and surprising choices.
If you are a teacher, find my Teaching Artist resume below and contact me to discuss ways we can collaborate with your lessons plans, and use Theater, Improvisation, and Performance as teaching tools to help boost your students communication skills, public speaking ability, and teamwork.
I also coach Improvisation and Acting and audition prep. I am on staff at The Annoyance Theatre, where I teach improvisation. Below are some links to some sites where I talk more about that. I look forward to working with you!

IMPROV COACHING:
FROM MY STUDENTS:
"Best instructor I've had. Got me out of an improv rut I felt I was in for a while. Really great specific actionable individual feedback while always still recognizing an our strengths as improvisers. Treats improv seriously and like an art form while still always having fun. Creates a friendly and safe environment to learn."
"Bruce was incredibly engaging in this class. I transformed from enjoying improv in my spare time to caring about my improv. His comments were both constructive and tailored to me as a performer. Incredibly friendly and supportive, I loved Bruce’s attention to detail and how much he seemed to care about my class and our improv skills." "Bruce gives his all to this class. He watches scenes with an intensity and precision that helps him give specific and actionable feedback. He is always constructive. Bruce inspires his students to deliver their best work in class. Bruce answers questions with tact and experience. He’s just super damn smart and it is clear he loves his students." "Bruce provided super helpful feedback and kept the class focused, productive, and also fun. I also appreciated how he handled one person in the class who was consistently harder to play with, as I've seen teachers who try to be overly polite and it only harms the rest of the class. Overall, Bruce is direct without being mean, and that strikes a very good balance." "I appreciated his openness and generosity. I feel he looks at improv performers as having unlimited growth potential. He seems to view improv education as an art in itself." "Bruce is the best improv teacher I've had yet. He has incredible insight and always gives pinpoint advice." "Bruce was outstanding. He was clear, gave great feedback/side coaching and clearly has a passion for improv and performance. It was also apparent he cared for his students and wanted to hear what they said. His classroom was warm, inviting, and safe." "He's the best. I learned techniques as well as tricks on how to improve on what I don't feel comfortable about." "Bruce was wildly helpful and knowledgeable and believed in his students and greeted and addressed us all with the same candor and respect - for this I am very grateful." "Bruce is one of the best teachers I've had. He is consistently enthusiastic, attentive, organized, challenging and kind. Class was always focused and high energy. I felt my time was always being used well. I felt engaged, challenged, and safe. I'm super glad I took this class!" "Bruce is really great. I really enjoyed the fact that he took the time to give each of us personalized feedback about our strength and skills to work on." | |||
