South of Broadway

After graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Joseph used his master in Education to bring the theatre model to schools in New York. While studying acting with Uta Hagen and Stellar Adler he realized how easily text analysis could be incorporated into a classroom setting. Further work with Nellie McCaslin in Educational Drama at New York University made Joseph realize the multiple values of drama as a teaching tool. He created a theatre arts program for the StonyBrook School District as he worked towards his masters in theatre.

After receiving his degree Joseph taught in the theatre department at the University of New York at StonyBrook for 12 years. He has mentored many educators and librarians and on the many uses of theatre.

As a member of the American Alliance for Theatre & Education he is a representative for the state of South Carolina.
