Teaching

I'm currently an Associate Professor of Theatre at Albright College. I've also taught at the University of Missouri, Moraine Valley Community College and Illinois State University, and have led numerous workshops with various educational and corporate entities. I have been nominated for Teaching Excellence awards at Albright College and the University of Missouri, and my students have won awards in playwriting, research, and creativity at university, regional, and national competitions. 

Follow the tabs for information about my teaching - my philosophy, history, and even some sample syllabi. Enjoy!



​“Matt was really interested in his students learning and always made class fun. I never felt lectured at but always a part of the creative process. He encouraged his students to write their very best without directing their creativity. You can tell Matt loves what he does and it makes a huge difference in class.”
