Meet the Director
Hello! My name is Becca and I am the Director of the Conservatory of Theatre Arts. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of theatre to empower and transform both individuals and society, and have experienced this power in manifold ways as an actor, director, teacher, leader, and audience member.
Located in the heart of Purchase College, the Conservatory of Theatre Arts offers rigorous training, unparalleled resources, cutting-edge facilities, and a distinguished faculty of industry professionals dedicated to mentoring and inspiring each student to think wide open. We are a top choice for prospective students eager to develop their craft and succeed in the performing arts industry.
Here, we cultivate the next generation of theatre visionaries—actors, designers, directors, and professionals—by fostering an environment where creative individuality and identity are the ignition point for collaboration, and where dreams take center stage. Our Conservatory is more than just a place of learning; it’s a vibrant, dynamic community where passion meets professionalism, and innovation is our guiding star.
Studying the discipline of theatre at Purchase teaches essential skills—such as communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking—readying our citizen artists to be versatile professionals capable of excelling in fields both within and beyond the performing arts.
Join us at the Purchase Conservatory of Theatre Arts, where your talent will be nurtured, your creativity unleashed, and your potential realized. Together, we’ll create the theatre of the future!
