Director/Choreographer

Mr. Summers has worked extensively as a director, choreographer, teacher, and performer regionally and throughout New York. He received his BFA in Drama at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he graduated with honors and was presented with two outstanding achievement awards, one from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, and the other, the Seidman Award, for his work as a performer and a scholar. As a director and choreographer, his work has been seen off-Broadway in New York and in countless regional and college theaters throughout the country. His productions have been favorably reviewed in many national publications, including The New York Times. Mr. Summers also teaches acting and dance, most recently for Stars of Tomorrow in Syosset. In addition, his work as a coach for the Iona Prep Forensics Team has brought the school numerous nationally-ranked finalists, including two national champions. Mr. Summers is also the co-founder and Artistic Director of the Hope for Change Foundation, a Westchester-based not-for-profit organization that raises money for breast cancer research through theatrical programming. He has been a member of Actors’ Equity Association since 2002 and a member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers since 2005.

Mr. Summers’ work with the Port Summer Show has been among his greatest joys for the last few years. “The spirit and enthusiasm of the young performers coupled with the dedication and energy of the parents and volunteers makes it one of the most truly special places to do theatre.”
