Adam Dannheisser received his BFA in Musical Theater from The Boston Conservatory of Music and his Master’s Degree from the prestigious NYU Graduate Acting Program. Because of the breadth of his training, from Shakespeare to Sondheim, Adam’s Broadway career has taken him to every corner of the theater with roles in multiple Tony-nominated and Tony-winning shows — The Tempest, Twelfth Night, Proof, The Coast of Utopia, Fiddler on the Roof, Cymbeline, Rock of Ages (starred in and also served as Resident Director), Oslo and most recently, the hit musical Beetlejuice. 

 

He has learned from the best. 

 

Over his 25-year career, Adam has found nothing more fulfilling than coaching, directing and mentoring young, inspired actors who are eager to make their own mark on the stage, by providing them with focus, confidence and grounded simplicity. Honesty in acting does not require muscle. Quite the opposite. It requires ease and openness. An availability to the moment, both physically and emotionally. 

 

The primary focus of these one-on-one online or in person sessions is to help prepare young actors for undergraduate and graduate-level auditions. Bring Adam the material that most inspires you (be it monologues and/or songs), and together you will work to hone and shape a powerful representation of your talent. In addition, thanks to years of putting himself on tape for hundreds of tv and film auditions, Adam can also provide insight into the dos and don’ts of self taping to guarantee a powerful, professional presentation. 

 

Because he feels so strongly about the necessity of training, college prep is Adam’s main focus. However, actors going another route are more than welcome to join in. There are many roads that lead to the same destination. Adam can attest. His journey through his career thus far has been diverse, fruitful and fascinating.
