Actor Educators
Teach. Entertain. Inspire.
Meet the Actor-Educators
Our programs come to life through the people who perform them. NTC casts professional actor-educators who bring a rare combination of talent, warmth and teaching ability to every stage they step onto.
We believe the stage should reflect the world our students live in. That’s why we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive roster of actor-educators — people of different backgrounds, identities and perspectives whose stories and presence inspire students in communities across the country.
