My name is Desiree Rosado and I am the Advanced Acting and Technical Theatre teacher at TapCo. I have been working in theater education for over seven years and am an Arthur Miller Foundation Fellow Alumni. I believe all students should have access to an arts education. My objective is to enrich students’ relationship with theatre and to expose them to the different career pathways in the field, on and off-stage. I strive to foster a deep sense of community in the classroom where students feel supported as they explore and make connections to the work.  Artistically, my focus is on directing and stage management. As an actor I have been involved in productions of: Luis Alfaro’s Electricidad, Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author and several original works. I’ve directed Sarah Ruhl’s The Clean House, Aladdin Dual Language, 10 Best/Worst Things About Middle School and Ths Phne 2.0. I am also the stage manager for the NYC DOE All (In)clusive Theater Ensemble, an innovative theater program for NYC high school student artists from across diverse backgrounds, races, gender identities, abilities and disabilities.
