She has directed and acted in countless plays on Broadway, Off Broadway and Regional Theater playing such roles as Blanche in Streetcar Named Desire, Jane Seymour in Hal Prince's Rex and Hero in Much Ado About Nothing for the Tyrone Guthrie. She brings her extraordinary talent, energy and guidance to the Theater Camp of the UCLA Arts Camp and along with other theater faculty has made that program into a major acting arena for young people.
H. Richard Greene is a powerful actor and passionate teacher. Now in his third season with the UCLA Arts Camps, he is a natural choice to head the new Theater Conservatory. Mr. Greene has directed The Actors' Labs at the Coronet Theatre since its inception in 1997, teaching advanced classes for the professional actor. He works as a private acting coach in both Los Angeles and New York. Mr. Greene has extensive Broadway and regional credits including Timon of Athens with James Earl Jones at the Yale Repertory Theatre and Taming of the Shrew with Glenn Close at the Washington, D.C. Shakespeare Festival. On The West Wing he portrayed Senator Royce, the Republican Majority Leader, and on Boston Legal he appears in the recurring role of Judge Hingham. Other recent television appearances include guest-staring roles on The District, The Practice, NYPD Blue, and Without A Trace.
Jon Monastero, an accomplished actor, is a founding member of the critically acclaimed clown show, Ten West. He has clowned and performed at venues across North America including the Mark Taper Forum, Disney Concert Hall, Hollywood Bowl and the Center Theater Group as well as several regional theaters. Jon was awarded the 2008 Ticketholder Award for Special Events and Performance for his skill in commedia dell'arte and his commedia dell'Arte troupe I Zanni was a recent addition to the Orange County Performing Art's Center's Arts Teach artist roster. He is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University and has taught or given workshops in clowning and commedia dell'arte at California Institute of the Arts, Pepperdine College, USC, Idyllwild Arts Academy, Improv Oympic, Rio Hondo College and the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. He is a big believer that the traditions of clown and commedia dell'arte continue to inform, impact and inspire actors today. Clown and commedia training enlivens and frees the performer to explore a wild, improvisational world while demanding honesty and commitment unlike that experienced in other approaches to performance. It addresses the human spirit and its liberation through the imagination, fantasy and atmosphere of play. UCLA Arts Camp 2010 is excited to have Jon join its faculty. He speaks fluent Italian, can talk your ear off about the Civil War and is wicked good at pratfalls and balloon animals!
