Eddie Paul: Education Director/Head Teaching Artist

Eddie Paul is the founder of Theatre Ready.  He is an educator, actor and musician.  He has a B.A in Acting & Directing from DePaul University (Barat College Campus) and a Master’s in Education from the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities. Eddie has also studied improvisation at Chicago's famous long form improv company I.O. Eddie is also a song writer and percussionist of twenty seven years.   He has several years of professional stage acting experience and he has been teaching youth theatre workshops/classes and creating theatre programs in Chicago and Minneapolis since the fall of 2003.  His classes & programs focus on acting,  improvisation,  and rhythm & percussion.  As a child, Eddie had a lack of music and performing arts curriculum in the schools he attended.  This lends the inspiration he needs today to provide a creative and alternative way for his students to learn and have fun.  His love of the arts led him to teaching. He is ecstatic to be a part of the Twin Cities creative community and looks forward many adventures to come.
