He/Him
Drew is originally from sunny South Florida and now resides in New York City. He graduated summa cum laude from Northwestern University with a double major in Theatre and Music Theory and a certificate in Musical Theatre. While at Northwestern, his love for choreography grew as he choreographed/associated for student productions, MainStage productions (inc. The Waa-Mu Show), and student dance groups on campus.
As a performer, he was most recently seen on the Annie National, which performed at the Theater at Madison Square Garden ft. Whoopi Goldberg. Off-Broadway credits include Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust Road and How to Steal An Election (The York Theater), For Your Consideration (Daryl Roth Theater), and the New York workshop of Anne of Green Gables. Notable Regional Theaters include PCLO, MT Wichita, Maltz Jupiter Theatre, and Drury Lane.
Drew is a passionate educator and is thrilled to be coaching with MTCA. He’s worked as a Test Prep tutor in the NYC/Westchester area and helped students become more confident and comfortable with the SAT/ACT. He’s excited to utilize his personal combination of academic and artistic pedagogy to help build students’ confidence by fostering that love for musical theatre and building strong executive functioning skills.
