Meet Our Directors 

Allison Daugherty, Artistic Director

Allison Daugherty got her start at Glass as a student and quickly moved to professional acting in roles on Broadway, Off Broadway, regional theatres, tours, films, commercials and TV series. When not acting, her love for teaching grew guest teaching for  NYC high schools and colleges like S.U.N.Y. Purchase and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts before returning to her alma mater in 2018.  “Glass has the best facilities, diversity, tradition of excellence and community support of any High School I’ve seen. So many of us were inspired for life by the spark we caught at Glass Theatre.”

 “Theatre encourages everyone to succeed. It gives kids a voice and community. It expresses the inexpressible, cultivates creative problem solving and self-discipline, develops critical thinking and above all - grows empathy for others. It’s learning for life." shared Daugherty

Allison is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and enjoys learning as much as teaching. She expanded her training by seeking out master teachers with the Royal Shakespeare program in Oxford, Theatre De Complicite, The Folger Shakespeare Institute and Frantic Assembly among many others.
