A NOTE FROM PROGRAM AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, Tobi Beth Silver
For those of you who don’t know me and even for those of you who do-
I first got bitten by this acting bug when my Mom, a writer, director, artist in her own right, took me to see one of her rehearsals. I think she probably took me because she couldn’t find a baby sitter but the truth is that night changed my life forever…

For the past 14 years I have been working with RKS Talent Management in New York City where I have recently become a partner. In addition to my work in Talent Management, I am also a Professional Acting Coach preparing our clients for roles on Broadway, Regional Theater, Feature Films, Television and Commercials. I own and operate Studio East, my private acting studios; in Connecticut and New York City where I see approximately 36 students a week. I have been the Artistic Director and Program Director for various Universities and programs throughout the country where I have directed more then 30 musicals and plays in the past 15 years.

I look forward every summer to taking some time away from “the business” and getting back to directing. Now, in its fifth season, Summer Arts at the Cabaret, has given me the opportunity to see another dream come true. I have created a program based on my love for the theater and my love for working with all of you. Together we will continue to build the skills necessary to bring professionalism and excellence to the stage and together, we will fill everyday loving what we do.

I will be accompanied by a wonderful staff all prepared to bring you the highest quality in professional instruction on a daily basis. We will have a large staff this year – many old faces returning; with the intern program we will have a staff of around 15!
