Actor - Playwright - Educator
Hi, I'm Xavier
I am a Kent State University Graduate with a Theatre Performance degree and double minor in Pre-Law and Philosophy.
​
Passionate about all things literature, playwriting, and Shakespeare, I am working towards building a library of online resources for students like myself who share a common interest in the world of liberal arts.
Featured On
I've had the opportunity to be featured in Kent State University's Research Review podcast, a platform for researchers at Kent State University to communicate and inspire.
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 and teachers 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.
Theatre Production
I was the dramaturg for Kent State’s 2022 production of Much Ado About Nothing, was the Evil Wizard in the experimental all-audio show: Inside the Box, and played Trevor Lewandowski in the online comedy web series: Collegetown.
