Mr. Schimpf has undertaken casting and directing for scores for academic and professional productions and regularly adjudicates at theatre festivals. He has taught drama and acting workshops for over 25 years.

The winner will get two 1-hour workshops. These sessions can take place at a location of your choice (even at Padua Academy), and you may invite whomever you'd like to participate. Mr. Schimpf will work intensively with you to prepare for a specific audition, to broaden your acting skill set, or to introduce you and your friends to basic acting concepts.

You can discuss your goals and interests with Mr. Schimpf and decide what to cover in each session.

There are no restrictions on participants.
