!!!Rave Reviews!!!

“…the cast of this production is terrific across the board, providing the audience with a most delightful afternoon or evening’s entertainment.” -Alan J. Miller, Theatre is Easy

Sometimes you really can tell. And I will tell you that T. Schreiber’s production of George Bernard Shaw’s  You Never Can Tell is an utterly charming night at the theater. -Bess Rowen,Off-Off Online

“A charming, delightful and first-rate revival of Shaw’s seaside comedy, appropriate for the entire family.” -Alan J. Miller,Theatre is Easy

“T. Schreiber Studio concludes its 41st season with this production, and as ever the work is sparkling, clear, and nourishing. This is the perfect comedy to usher in the long-awaited summer here in NYC.”
-Martin Denton, nytheatre

“The banter is witty and the comedy is drawing room, but it is the actors’ charisma and timing that keeps one engaged.” -Bess Rowen, Off-Off Online

“In fact, if you don’t count the number of seats in the audience, you’ll be convinced that you’re attending a major off Broadway production. The sets and costumes are lush, worthy of a full blown commercial production, and the acting and directing are as good as it gets.” -Alan J. Miller,Theatre is Easy

“It’s a very funny play, and very smart…it’s thoroughly modern and no less pertinent than it was when it was written.” -Martin Denton, nytheatre




I am currently performing with EXIT STRATEGY improv in NYC!


November '10
I collaborated  in creation and in performance of the

"Then & Now Cabaret"

Delray Beach Playhouse Children's Theatre Benefit.
It was a very successful, sold-out event former graduates of
Dolly Workman's Children's Theatre Program
produced to help the program raise money for building funds for the theatre.

(video soon to come)



November '09
I performed in the Alvin Ailey Extension Dance Workshop. The excitement
of The Pajama Game's 'Once A Year Day' had the audience singing
and talking about our performance for days!
I also had the wonderful responsibility of Dance Captain
for this performance!

August '09

I performed in the Alvin Ailey Dance Workshop. We brought passion to the Ailey Stage with
El Tango De Roxanne!


August '07 - August '09

For the past two years, doing two or more shows a month, I worked with Epione
(e' pie' oh' knee) and Tragic Improv.
We brought tragedy to the New York City's Improv Stages and to the stages of Toronto!
We were a dramatic improv troup that wasn't trying to be funny! Epione's cast: Helen Abell, Darnell Holguin, Alexa Kryzaniwsky, Thomas Poarch, Kelly Reeves, Cathy Simpson, Andrew Uhlenhopp, Brendan Wahlers, Chriss Williams, Jason Williams.

Our Improv bled over into the New York City Subways!
Our most popular and exciting shows were our Secret Subway Shows! We spent a month developing a typical character you
might see on a subway car and then we invaded the trains! Our goal being to create believable characters for our planted
audience and real characters for the unsuspecting riders! Word caught on and Improv News Reviewed us! Check it out at...
