Talia directed the first ever One Act Play Festival at Renaissance High School for Musical Theater and Technology.
Talia has completed her first year as a participating teacher with the TDF (Theater Development Fund) Open Doors Program. As a participating school, only eight scholars, from Renaissance High School for Musical Theater and Technology, are selected to join. As participants, TDF gives us access to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows throughout the school year. The program requires participants to attend a show, engage in a post-show discussion over pizza, and reflect through journaling. This year, we were even fortunate enough to have a backstage tour after our outing to see "Cats" on Broadway. The Open Doors program also provides each school with a mentor; a professional in the industry to join us on each outing and lead our post-show discussions. Luckily, we were blessed with two mentors this year, TONY Award-winning Clint Ramos (Costume and Set Designer) and Jessica Pabst (Costume Designer). The students, as well as myself, really valued our mentors' insight throughout
