Actor - Playwright - Educator

Hi, I'm Xavier

I am a Kent State University graduate with a degree in Theatre Performance and double minor in Pre-Law and Philosophy.

​

Passionate about all things theatre, writing, and Shakespeare, I have written an online resource for students, teachers, and actors who wish to better explore and understand Shakespeare and his works.

Recent Work

Educational Resources

I partnered with Dr. Yuko Kurahashi and the SURE (Summer Undergraduate Research Experience) program to create the book: Conjuring Shakespeare’s Kings, Witches, and Fools (later becoming Educators' and Learners' Guide to Shakespeare through Stagings and Adaptations). It is a free online resource book that aims to make Shakespeare more accessible to students, teachers, and actors in high school and collegiate classrooms.

Playwright / Author

I authored A Midsummer Day’s Awakening, a full 5 act play written in Shakespearean English and Iambic Pentameter that tells the story of what occurs directly after the events of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
