Experienced tutor in Acting in Minneapolis, Douglas offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

The professional format in which each individual acting student's artistic skills were cleverly fleshed out allowing for their own unique creative strengths to be brought to the surface. In less than a week this studio workshop covered much of the ins and out of the real acting business to include technical terminology, stage acting verses sceen acting, auditions, as well as what it takes to land a television commercial. In the end parents and family have the pleasure of viewing camera footage of what their young actor learned. I was incredibly impressed and would highly recommend this amazing local workshop taught by a seasoned acting professional with over 40 years experience in dance, theatre, and film.

Doug with Matchbox Theater had been invited to present theater, while highlighting certain topics about theater to the Cub Scouts Troop 56 this last spring. Doug was amazing from the content and acting exercises to the way he engaged these children, held their attention and had them laughing and learning. It was great to see his passion for the theater and acting!
