In 2000, she founded a professional theatre in Northern Michigan where she directed MACBETH, GRIMM TALES, ART, and PIGEON RIVER OPERA and taught acting, The Viewpoints, and Shakespeare techniques to students of all ages. There she recieved grants from the NEA, Michigan Council for the Arts and Culture and others to produce original works and provide arts programming for underserved communities. Since moving back to New York in the summer of 2006, Theresa has become a member of the faculty at NYU Playwrights Horizons Theatre School.
